    A's share in a business is 3/ 4th of B's share. B got a profit of Rs. 1200 by investing Rs. 40000 in the business. What will be the ratio of A's profit to his investment in the business?

    A) 100 : 3

    B) 3 : 100

    C) 3 : 10

    D) None of the above

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[\because \]B's share in investment = Rs. 40000 and A's share in investment \[=\frac{3}{4}\times 40000=\text{Rs}.\,\,30000\] \[\therefore \] Ratio of their investments = 30000 : 40000 = 3 : 4 Let A's share in profit \[=x\] \[\therefore \]\[\frac{x}{1200}=\frac{3}{4}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[x=\frac{3\times 1200}{4}=\text{Rs}.\,\,900\] Hence, required ratio = 900 : 30000             = 3 : 100
