    D 5:8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the ratio of A’s and B’s investment be x:y. The ratio of time periods of investment of A, => [3x/(3x+5y)] x 100000 = 25000 => [3x/(3x+5y)] = 1/4 => 12x = 3x + 5y => 9x = 5y => x:y = 5:9
