Mr. William bought shares of two companies, Max and Duke. The amount invested in Max was 3 times of the amount invested in Duke but after two year the profit from Max was \(\frac{2}{3}\) of the profit from Duke. If the profit from Duke \(\frac{1}{4}\) was of the investment done in Max, what is his overall profit percentage?

Max = 3x
Duke = x
Duke's profit same as Max = 3x
max's profit = 3x
Profit % = 6x/4x = 150 % ?
Am I missing something here
Duke = x
Duke's profit same as Max = 3x
max's profit = 3x
Profit % = 6x/4x = 150 % ?
Am I missing something here

I think, 150% is the increased amount. Profit will be 150 -100 = 50%. But this still isn't one of the options, so I am also not sure what to do differently. May be Carcass can help?
