Answer 2

Answer:

A) 10000 and 15000 

Explanation:

As both A and B invest the same amounts, the ratio of their profits at the end of the year is equal to the ratio of the time periods for which they have invested.

 

Thus, the required ratio of their profits = A : B = 8 : 12 = 2 : 3.

 

Hence, share of A in the total profit = 2 x 25000/5 = Rs.10000

 

Similarly, share of B in the total profit = 3 x 25000/5 = Rs.15000
