The investment of A is twice as that of B and thrice as that of C. B invested for twice the months than A and thrice the months than C. Who will earn the highest profit?

  • A.B
  • B.C
  • C.A
  • D.Both A and B 
  • E.Both B and C 

Answer: D

Profit shares are proportional to capital multiplied by time.

Take A's investment as 6 units, so B has 3 and C has 2. Let A's time be \( t \); then B's is \( 2t \) and C's is \( \tfrac{2t}{3} \).

\[ A: 6 \times t = 6t \]

\[ B: 3 \times 2t = 6t \]

\[ C: 2 \times \frac{2t}{3} = \frac{4t}{3} \]

A and B tie for the largest share, so both A and B earn the highest profit.
