B Correct answer
Explanation

Total profit is 1,20,000. Ratio 1:5 means Raman gets 20,000 and Stella gets 1,00,000. For equal distribution, each should get 60,000. Raman needs 60,000 - 20,000 = 40,000 more.

AI explanation

The total profit of Rs. 1,20,000 is divided into 1 + 5 = 6 parts, meaning each part is worth Rs. 20,000. Raman currently receives 1 part, which is Rs. 20,000, and an equal distribution would mean each person gets Rs. 60,000. The additional money Raman needs is 60,000 minus 20,000, resulting in Rs. 40,000.
