Correct Answer: Rs. 10,000


Solution : Given: Total profit = Rs. 19,000
According to the question,
The ratio of the equivalent capitals of Anil and Vishal for 1 year:
= (25000 × 12) : (30000 × 9)
= (25 × 12) : (30 × 9)
= 10 : 9
The sum of the ratio of Anil and Vishal = 10 + 9 = 19
$\therefore$ Anil's share = $\frac{\text{Ratio of Anil}}{\text{Sum of ratio of Anil and Vishal}}$ × Total Profit = $\frac{10}{19}$ × 19000 = 10000
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 10,000.
