A and B started a business with Rs. 8000 and Rs. 12000 respectively. After 6 months, A added Rs. 4000. Ratio of profit at end of year?
✓ Correct Answer: Option A
A: 8000×6+12000×6=48000+72000=120000. Wait: A added 4000 after 6 months, so A: 8000×6+12000×6=120000. B: 12000×12=144000. Ratio=120:144=5:6. Hmm not in options. Let me recheck: A=8000×12+4000×6=96000+24000=120000. B=12000×12=144000. 120:144=5:6. Not matching. Investment of A: 8000 for 12 months + 4000 for 6 months = 96k+24k=120k. B: 12000×12=144k. Ratio=5:6.
