Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 40000.
Here they invest their money for the same time period so the ratio of the profit share is equal to the ratio of their investment.
Ratio of the profit share = 150000 : 450000 = 1 : 3.
Part of the money received by A = 1/4 of 200000 = 50,000.
Salary received by A = 90000 - 50000 = 40000.
