Answer

C

Explanation

A's equivalent investment = 50000×3+40000×9=150000+360000=51000050000 \times 3 + 40000 \times 9 = 150000 + 360000 = 510000. B's equivalent investment = 60000×3+80000×6=180000+480000=66000060000 \times 3 + 80000 \times 6 = 180000 + 480000 = 660000. Ratio of profit sharing A : B = 510000:660000=51:66=17:22510000 : 660000 = 51 : 66 = 17 : 22.
