  • 19:49:64
  • 20:49:64
  • 20:49:65
  • 20:50:64

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let their investments be Rs. x for 14 months, Rs. y for 8 months and Rs. z for 7 months respectively

Then, 14x : 8y : 7z = 5 : 7 : 8

Now, 14x/8x = 5/7
=> y = (49/20)x

14x/7z = 5/8

=> z = (16/5)x

=>x:y:z = x:(49/20)x:(16/5)x
= 20:49:64
