      Solution

      A's money-time = 40000 x 12 = 480000 B's investment for first 6 months = 50000 After 50% increase, new investment = 75000 B's money-time = 50000 x 6 + 75000 x 6 = 300000 + 450000 = 750000 Profit ratio = 480000 : 750000 = 16 : 25 Total ratio = 41 B's share = (25/41) x 41000 = 25000 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 25000.
