    Question

    B.

    29:19

    C.

    D.

    1:3

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    Ratio of investment of Ren and Martin = 5:4

    Martin left the company after 15 months

    Solution:

    Let the amount of investment of both Ren and Martin be 5x and 4x

    Then Ren time in company = 24 months

    And Martin time in company = 15 months

    Ratio of share =5x×244x×15 \frac{5x \times 24}{4x \times 15 }​ = 2:1

    The ratio between Ren and Martin must be divided in ratio 2:1 respectively
