Choose the most appropriate option:  A) 42000  B) 46000  C) 54000  D) 40000  E) None of these
Let amount distributed between A and B is x   Ratio of capital between A and B is 8:7   If B get 14000 Then   x*7/15 = 14000   x*7 = 210000   x = 30000   Let total profit = y   y*75/100 = 30000   y = 40000   Answer 40000
