Solution

The correct option is A
10:9

Let the investment of A be `a'

Let the investment of B is `1.8a'

$\frac{I n v e s t m e n t o f A \times t i m e o f i n v e s t m e n t o f A}{I n v e s t m e n t o f B \times t i m e o f i n v e s t m e n t o f B} = \frac{P r o f i t o f A}{P r o f i t o f B}$

$\frac{a \times 12}{1.8 a \times 6} = \frac{10}{9}$
