From option (B) Profit ratio = 4000 * 12: 5000 * 12:7000 * 6 = 8:10:7 A’s profit = 8/25 * 2500 = 800 This will not satisfy the given condition. From option (C) Profit ratio = 5000 * 12: 5000 * 12:4000 * 6 = 5:5:2 A’s profit = 5/12 * 2500 = 1041.667 This will not satisfy the given condition. From option (D ) Profit ratio = 6000 * 12: 5000 * 12:3000 * 6 = 12:10:3 A’s profit = 12/25 * 2500 = 1200 This will satisfy the given condition.
