P, Q and R are three partners in a business. If P's capital is equal to twice the capital of Q and Q's capital is three times the capital of R, find the ratio of the capital of P,Q and R.

6 : 3 : 1
1 : 3 : 6
2 : 3 : 6
3 : 6 : 1

Correct Answer: 6 : 3 : 1

Explanation:

Let the capital of R = N
Then, capital of Q = 3N,
and capital of P = 6N
∴ P's capital : Q's capital : R's capital = 6N : 3N : N
= 6 : 3 : 1
