      3:5, profit at the end of the year is Rs.120000 and A’s share in it is Rs.20000, then what is the ratio of A’s and B’s investment?
      A 7:12 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 120000 = 20000 => [3x/(3x+5y)] = 1/6 => 18x = 3x + 5y => 15x = 5y => x:y = 1:3
