The answer is correct only if the invested amount is same.
If they are different they can't cancel each other and returns some value. Thus the ratio 4/3* (7/9) like some value would be returned.

6 * 8/4 * 3 = 4/3.

company P : company Q.
Amount = 8 : 9
Interest rate = 6 : 4
So calculate -
8 : 9 = 6 : 4.
8/9 = 6/4.
Result = 4/3.
Amount = 8 : 9
Interest rate = 6 : 4
So calculate -
8 : 9 = 6 : 4.
8/9 = 6/4.
Result = 4/3.

@Ashutosh.
The question is for a year however ratio remains same even the amount is changing.
Ex = 4/3*12/12 = 4/3.

This answer is correct. And in fact this can be solved in a shorter way, this problem is similar to that of PARTNERSHIP.
(8 x 6) / (9 x 4).
Because the amount will be equally distributed as per the share and that of their respective interest.
(8 x 6) / (9 x 4).
Because the amount will be equally distributed as per the share and that of their respective interest.

But we receive 1.06 after one year I do not understand why the ratio is times 6% instead of 1+6%.

Ratio asked for amount received after one year AS INTEREST.
Ashutosh said:

I think the answer given here is wrong. Because the ratio is asked for the amount after one year, whereas in solution they are comparing the ratio of interest.
Some one please help me if I'm wrong.
