1. 15 : 7
2. 14 : 15
3. 11 : 15
4. 7 : 8
5. 8 : 9

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 14 : 15

Given:

A's initial investment = Rs.200

B's initial investment = 200 × 3/4 = Rs.150

Calculation:

A's investment = 200 × 4 + 250 × 8 = Rs.2800

B's investment = 150 × 4 + 300 × 8 = Rs.3000

Ratio of their profit shares = Ratio of their investment = 2800 : 3000

∴ Required ratio = 14 : 15
