Answer 2

Option 'B' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Profit = Rs. 84

It is to be divided between A and B and the ratio of A: B is given by

$\dfrac{1}{3}:\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\=4:3$

So, Share of A would be

$\dfrac{4}{7}\times 84\\\\=4\times 12\\\\=48$

Share of B would be

$\dfrac{3}{7}\times 84\\\\=3\times 12\\\\=36$

Hence, Option 'B' is correct.
