Answer

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{\text{Partners}}}&{\text{A}}&:&{\text{B}} \\ {{\text{Capital}}}&4&:&5 \\ {{\text{Time}}}&{12}&:&{10} \\ {{\text{Profit ratio}}}&{24}&:&{25} \end{array}
Total profit = 49 units   (25 + 24)
Total profit = Rs. 49,000   (Given)
49 units = Rs. 49,000
1 unit = Rs.  = Rs. 1,000
∴ 25 units = 25 × 1,000
B's share = Rs. 25,000
