Solution
Let the investment of A, B , and C be y , 2y , 4y
after 6 months A invested half of amount more and hence for next 8 months in a year his invest is proportional to 1.5y . where as B invested same amount and C withdrew 1/4th of his amount
So their effective amount after 6 months are 4y and 3y respectvely
So after a year their profits will be shared in ratio = A:B:C = (6y + 9y) : (12y + 24y) : (24y + 18y)
A:B:C = 15:36:42 = 5:12:14
Hence answer is C option.
