Ratio of investment = 1/2 : 1/3 : 1/4,
taking lcm of (2,3,4) and divide by this ratio's we get 6 : 4 : 3,
we have to assume there initial investment is 6x, 4x and 3x
now we can write A : B : C = (6x * 2 + 3x*10) : (4x *12) : (3x*12) after doing calculation we got
= 42:48:36 more simplify it
= 7:8:6
now we need to calc B'share = (8/21) * 378 = 144

so 144 is the correct answer.

Ratio of investments =1/2 : 1/3 : 1/4 , now LCM of 2, 3, 4 is 12 on multiplying the ratio with 12
we get 6 : 4 : 3 , also we assume their initial investment be 6x, 2x and 3x so, we can write: A : B :C
=(6x*2+3x*10):(4x*12):(3x*12)=42:48:36=7:8:6
B's share =(8/12)*378=144
