Explanation:

A : B
8*4000+4*6000 : 9*5000+3*3000
56 : 54
Total profit is Rs. 6700 but Rs. 100 per month is withdrawn by A, So Rs. 1200 is taken by A in one year. Remaining profit will be distributed between A and B.
According to question,
56x + 54x = 6700 - 1200
110x = 5500
x = 50
B's share = 54×50= Rs.2700
