Solution:

Time of B:C = 4:3

Time of B = 12 months = 4x

Time of C = 3*3 =9 Monts

\(\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline Desc & A & B & B & C\\ \hline Capital & 4a & 5a & x & y\\ \hline Time & 12 & 12 & 12 & 9\\ \hline Profit & 48a & 60a & 12x & 9y\\ \end{array}\)

 48a:9y=4:3

60a:15y=1

12x:15y=1 (60 = 12x from row 3 of given table)

   x:y=5:4
