Correct Answer: 23 : 10
Solution :
Let $x$ be B's capital. Then, A's capital will be $2x$.
Profit ratio of A and B = (capital of A
× time period of A) : (capital of B
× time period of B)
= $(2x × 10 + \frac{3}{4} × 2x×2) : (x × 8 + \frac{x}{2} × 4)$
= $(20x+3x) : (8x+2x)$
= $23x:10x$
= $23:10$
Hence, the correct answer is 23 : 10.
