Correct Answer: 2 : 5
Solution : In a business, the share of profit is directly proportional to the product of the capital invested and the time period of investment. The time period of investment for A is $p$ and the time period of investment for B is $q$. Given that the ratio of the capital invested by A and B is 15000 : 30000 or 1 : 2, and the ratio of their share in profit is 1 : 5. $⇒\frac{\text{Investment by A × p}}{\text{Investment by B × q}}=\frac{\text{Share of profit of A }}{\text{Share of profit of B }}$ $⇒\frac{\text{1 × p}}{\text{2 × q}}=\frac{\text{1 }}{\text{5}}$ $\therefore\frac{\text{ p}}{\text{q}}=\frac{\text{2}}{\text{5}}$ Hence, the correct answer is 2 : 5.
