Correct Answer: 25,000


Solution : A and B invest in a business in a ratio of 4 : 5.
Let the investment of A and B be 4$x$ and 5$x$ respectively.
Profit ratio of A and B = (capital of A × time period of A) : (capital of B × time period of B)
= (4$x$ × 12) : (5$x$ × 10)
= 48 : 50
= 24 : 25
Since the total profit = Rs. 49000,
So, the share of B = $\frac{25}{(24+25)}$ × 49000
= $\frac{25}{49}$ × 49000
= Rs. 25000
Hence, the correct answer is 25,000.
