First of the After a year write a question is 12 is month wise.
3500*12/7x = 2/3.
By cross multiplying, we get;
3500*12=4200 multiple by 3 (42000*3)= 126000.
7 multiple by 2 (7*2) =14.
Then 126000/14 = 9000 is the answer Answer.
3500*12/7x = 2/3.
By cross multiplying, we get;
3500*12=4200 multiple by 3 (42000*3)= 126000.
7 multiple by 2 (7*2) =14.
Then 126000/14 = 9000 is the answer Answer.

@ Rokon Uddin.
They coined the term capital in the question.
So, it's obviously clear they are asking investment amount. Not the total amount.

@All.
If you consider B's initial investment answer would be 9000. If you consider B's total investment answer would be 7*9000=63000. So the word "initial should have added in the asking term. Generally, B's investment means a total investment of B. So to me answer is 63000.

Let; B's capital is x.
Then 3500 * 12:7x.
42000 : 7x ::2:3.
6000:x::2:3=6000/x=2/3.
x = 9000.
Then 3500 * 12:7x.
42000 : 7x ::2:3.
6000:x::2:3=6000/x=2/3.
x = 9000.
