20000 and 5000Explanation
As both A and B invest the same amounts, the ratio of their profits at the end of the year is equal to the ratio of the time periods for which they have invested. Thus, the required ratio of their profits = A : B = 8 : 12 = 2 : 3. Hence, share of A in the total profit = 2 x 25000/5 = Rs.10000 Similarly, share of B in the total profit = 3 x 25000/5 = Rs.15000Related questions
