Answer: Option

Let B's capital be Rs. x.

Then, 3500 x 12 = 2
7x 3

14x = 126000

x = 9000.

@Murali, they mentioned as after 5 months B is joined with A. 12 months -5 months = 7 months.

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

Let; B's capital is x.
According to question,
3500 * 12: 7 * x = 2 : 3.
So, X = 900.

A's share in 12 months=3500*12
B's share in 7 months=7x

Solve of 3500*12/7 = 6000.
