Answer : Option A
Explanation :
5 % of A + 4 % of B = \( \frac { 2} { 3 } \) ( 6% of A + 8 % of B)
\( \frac { 1 } { 20 } \) A + \( \frac { 1 } { 25} \) B = A + \( \frac { 4 } { 75} \) B
[\( \frac { 1 } { 20 } \)-\( \frac { 1 } { 25} \) ] A = [ \( \frac { 4 } { 75} \)-\( \frac { 1 } { 25} \)] B
= \( \frac { 100 } { 75} \) = \(\frac { 4 } { 3 } \)
Required ratio = 4 : 3
