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.
