Answer 2

Answer:

48 : 40 : 45

Explanation:

Let their investments be Rs. x for 10 months, Rs. y for 15 months and Rs. z for 16 months respectively.

Then, 10x : 15y : 16z = 4 : 5 : 6.

Now,

Investment *Time = Profit

I =P / T

x:y:z = 4/10 : 5/15 : 6/16

       = 2/5 : 1/3 : 3/8

       = 2*24 : 1*40 : 3*15

       = 48 : 40 : 45
