The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to establish the relationships between the capitals of A, B, and C based on the information given. ### Step 1: Define the variables Let: - B's capital = x - C's capital = y ### Step 2: Express A's capital in terms of B's capital According to the problem, A's capital is twice B's capital. Therefore: - A's capital = 2 * B's capital = 2x ### Step 3: Express B's capital in terms of C's capital The problem states that B's capital is three times C's capital. Therefore: - B's capital = 3 * C's capital = 3y ### Step 4: Set up the equations From the definitions: - We have B's capital as both x and 3y. Thus, we can write: - x = 3y ### Step 5: Substitute B's capital into A's capital Now, substitute the value of x in A's capital: - A's capital = 2x = 2(3y) = 6y ### Step 6: Write the ratio of A, B, and C's capitals Now we have: - A's capital = 6y - B's capital = 3y - C's capital = y So, the ratio of A : B : C is: - A : B : C = 6y : 3y : y ### Step 7: Simplify the ratio To simplify the ratio, we can divide each term by y: - A : B : C = 6 : 3 : 1 ### Final Answer Thus, the ratio of the capitals of A, B, and C is: - **6 : 3 : 1** ---
