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
