Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : ₹ 72000

Given:

Investment of A = ₹ 25000

The ratio of loss = 5 : 6

Concept used:

Loss = Investment × Time period

Calculation:

Let investment of B be x

Time period of investment of B = 12 – 7 = 5 months

(Investment of A)/(Investment of B) = 5/6

⇒ (25000 × 12)/(x × 5) = 5/6

⇒ 300000/5x =5/6

⇒ (300000 × 6)/(5 × 5) = x

⇒ x = 72000

The investment of B is 72000.
