  • C. Tk.8000
  • D. Tk.8000

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

the ratio of the business of P and Q is = 2 : 3

Let , 

     P's investment is = 2x

     Q's investment is = 3x

Again,

       P's investment year is = 2 yr

       Q's investment year is = 3 yr

Then,

   P and Q investment is = 2x X 2 : 3x X 3

                                        = 4x : 9x

                                       = 4 : 9

P's profit is = 26000 x
