    A 11:9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 8:7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 7:8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 9:11 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the initial investment of Kevin and Ben be Rs. '4y' and Rs. '5y', respectively Increased investment of Kevin = 4y X 1.25 = Rs. '5y' Increased investment of Ben = 5y X 1.2 = Rs. '6y' So, respective ratio of annual profit shares of Ben and Kevin = (5y X 6 + 6y X 6):(4y X 6 + 5y X 6) = 11y:9y = 11:9
