Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- Total equivalent capital of A
$ =5x\times 12+8x\times 12 $
$ =Rs.156x $
Total equivalent capital of B
$ =6x\times 24=Rs.144x $
Total equivalent capital of C
$ =8x\times 12+4x\times 112 $
$ =Rs.,144x $
$ \therefore $ Required ratio = A: B: C
$ =156x:144x::144x $
= 13: 12: 12
