Answer:

The profit of A and B is $600$ and $2400$. d) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that A invests $Rs 1000$ for six months.

Also, B invests $Rs 2000$ for twelve months.

Total profit of A and B after one years is $Rs 3000$
We can notice from above information is that B invests the amounts which is double of that of A and also the time period of B is double of that of A.

Hence, the ration of profits of A and B will be $1:4$.

a) It is in ratio $1:2$. It is incorrect.

b) It is in ratio $4:5$ It is incorrect.

c) It is in ratio $1:4$. It is correct.

d) It is in ratio $1:6$. It is incorrect.
