Answer: (1)
Solution: (1)
B’s investment = Rs. $x$
$\therefore$ A’s investment $=$ Rs. $2 x$
Shares of $A$ and $C$ are equal.
If the investment of $C$ be Rs. $y$, then
$2 x \times 12=y \times 8$
$\Rightarrow y=\frac{2 x \times 12}{8}=$ Rs. $3 x$
$\therefore$ Profit ratio of A , B and C $=2 x \times 12: x \times 12: 3 x \times 8$ $=2: 1: 2$
$\therefore$ Required per cent $=\frac{1}{2} \times 100=50 \%$
