C Correct answer
Explanation

Investment ratio 3:4:2. Profit ratio 5:6:8. Profit = Investment × Time. So time ratio = Profit/Investment. For A: 5/3 = 10/6, B: 6/4 = 9/6, C: 8/2 = 24/6. Time ratio = 10:9:24. This relationship holds because in partnership, profit is directly proportional to both investment amount and time period.
