Solution

The correct option is B
Rs.20000

Let the time of investment of Q be `x'

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

$\frac{7000 \times 12}{x \times 7}$ = $\frac{3}{5}$

$\Rightarrow$ x = Rs.20000
