B Correct answer
Explanation

The total profit is 30,000, shared in a 1:2 ratio. The sum of the ratio parts is 1 + 2 = 3. Ram's share is (1/3) * 30,000 = 10,000, and Sunder's share is (2/3) * 30,000 = 20,000.

AI explanation

The total profit of Rs. 30,000 is divided into 1 + 2 = 3 total parts, meaning each part is worth Rs. 10,000. Ram receives 1 part and Sunder receives 2 parts. Their respective profits are Rs. 10,000 and Rs. 20,000.
