A and B start a business with Rs.6000 and Rs.8000 respectively. Hoe should they share their profits at the end of one year?
Correct answer: B. 3:4
- A. 1:2
- B. 3:4
- C. 2:5
- D. 3:7
Explanation
Both partners invest for the full year, so their profits follow their capitals directly. The ratio is Rs. 6000:Rs. 8000 = 3:4. Option a is a likely mistake from comparing the difference in capitals rather than the capitals themselves.
