3.  1 : 3 : 5
4.  Can’t be determined

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 2 : 6 : 15

CALCULATION:

Let the money invested by A, B, and C be 2x, 3x, and 5x respectively.

Let the time period A, B and C invested be 1y, 2y, and 3y respectively.

Then the ratio in which profit should be divided should be 2x × 1y : 3x × 2y : 5x × 3y

= 2xy : 6xy : 15xy = 2 : 6 : 15
