    Explanation

    Let their investments be tk. x for 14 months, tk. y for 8 months and tk. z for 7 months respectively. After equating the profits, we left with, 14x : 8y : 7z = 5 : 7 : 8. => x=5/14 , y=7/8, z=8/7. take l.c.m of 14,8,7. we get 56. x = 5/14*56 = 20. y = 7/8*56 = 49. z = 8/7*56 = 64. So, investments x:y:z = 20:49:64.
