Correct Answer: 40,000


Solution : Investment ratio of P and Q = 150000 : 450000 = 1 : 3
Since investment time is the same for both the person.
So, Profit ratio of P and Q = 1 : 3
Now,
(1 + 3) units = 200000
$\therefore$ 1 unit = 50000
So P gets a profit of INR 50000.
Salary of P = Total received amount – Profit share = 90,000 – 50,000 = INR 40,000
Hence, the correct answer is INR 40,000.
