Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If this question appears in a MCQs type test, adopt the following strategy:

Consider each and every option until you get the original ratio.

For example, comsider option(C). Take its ratio with the amount of the other investor i.e. “P”.

You will end up with 2:3

Solution:

Assume Q’s amount as 60,000.

Now, P:Q = 40000 : 60000 or P/Q = 40000/60000

P:Q = 2:3 and it is equal to the original ratio.$P:Q = 40000:60000\\\frac{P}{Q} = \frac{40000}{60000} \\\frac{P}{Q} = \frac{2}{3}\\or P:Q = 2:3$
