    Option B
    Solution:
    Ratio (x*4 +2x*8) : (3x*4 +3x/2*8) : (5x*4 +5x/2*8)
    =(4x+16x) : (12x+12x) : (20x+20x)
    =20x : 24x: 40x
    =5:6:10.
  5. In a business, A and C invested amounts in the ratio 1 : 2 , whereas the ratio between amounts invested by A and B was 2 : 3 . If Rs 171000 was their profit, how much amount did C receive?

    Then B’s investment=1/3 *x.
    B’s profit=2/7
    Then A’s profit 5/7
    Profit ratio 5:2.
    (2/3* 15) / (1/3*x) = 5/2
