A invests ₹6000 for 6 months, B invests ₹8000 for 4 months. Find their profit-sharing ratio.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Given:

A's investment = 6,000, time = 6 months

B's investment = 8,000, time = 4 months

Formula:

Profit ratio = Investment × Time

A = 6,000 × 6 = 36,000

B = 8,000 × 4 = 32,000

A : B = 36,000 : 32,000 = 9 : 8
