Solution

The correct option is A
9:8

$\frac{I n v e s t m e n t o f K a r a n \times t i m e o f i n v e s t m e n t o f K a r a n}{I n v e s t m e n t o f S a r o s h \times t i m e o f i n v e s t m e n t o f S a r o s h}$ = $\frac{P r o f i t o f K a r a n}{P r o f i t o f S a r s o h}$

= $\frac{(3000 + 6000) \times 6}{4000 \times 12}$ = 9:8
