Explanation:

Correct option 2: Rs 61600

Let the Initial investment of Q be Rs 4X
Initial investment of P will be Rs 9X
According to question,
After four months P withdrew 1/3 of his capital
Investment of P for rest of the year = 2/3 x 9 = 6X
After six months Q withdrew 1/2th of his capital
Investment of Q for rest of the year = 1/2 x 4 = 2X
Now,
⇒ 9X x 4 + 6X x 8: 4X x 6 + 2X x 6
⇒ 84X: 36X= 7:3
.. Amount received by P after 1 year = 7/10 x 88000 = Rs 61600
