A. 3 : 5 : 2

B. 3 : 5 : 5

C. 6 : 10 : 5

D. Data inadequate

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Let initial investment of A is 3x and B is 5x, then C investment is also 5x, but most important to note in this question is the time duration of investment
Like, A invested for 12 months, B invested for 12 months and C invested for 6 months.

A : B : C = (3x x 12) : (5x x 12) : (5x x 6)
= 36 : 60 : 30
= 6 : 10 : 5.
