There are 4 friends, who invest 1, 1, 2 and 5 lacs respectively in a business and give 8, 6, 4 and 3 hours per day respectively for the company. If output depends 60% on the investment and 40 % on work hours according to formula
Profit = effective investment ratio (minimum integral ratio) + effective work hour ratio (minimum integral ratio), then their profit ratio will be

OPtion

1) 8:6:4:13
2) 8:5:9:12
3) 6:8:8:9
4) 9:7:6:8
5) 4:3:4:5
6) 4:8:5:7
7) 8:5:6:7
8) 8:8:8:15
9) 21:6:8:8
10) none of these

Solution

effective investment ratio = 0.6:0.6:1.2:3.0 = 6:6:12:30 = 1:1:2:5
effective time ratio = 3.2:2.4:1.6:1.2 = 32:24:16:12 = 8:6:4:3
so according to the given condition profit ratio = 9:7:6:8
