What is C’s share of the profit (in Rs.)? Correct Answer 2,00,000

Share in profit ∝ Amount invested × time

Duration of investment for A, B and C = 12, 8 and 6 months respectively

Ratio of profit earned by A, B and C = 10 × 12 : 15 × 8 : 20 × 6

⇒ 120 : 120 : 120 = 1 : 1 : 1

Everyone earns an equal share

Share of C = 600000/3 = Rs. 200000
