Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
A's investment = 1/5.
B's investment = 1/3.
C's share = 1 - (1/5 + 1/3) = 1 - (3/15 + 5/15) = 1 - 8/15 = 7/15.
Express A, B, and C with a common denominator of 15:
A = 1/5 = 3/15
B = 1/3 = 5/15
C = 7/15
The ratio of profit shares is 3:5:7.
Final Answer: Option 4
