A Correct answer
Explanation

Ratio A:B = 4:5. B's share is 5 parts = 4800. 1 part = 4800 / 5 = 960. Total amount = (4 + 5) * 960 = 9 * 960 = 8640.

AI explanation

Let the shares of A and B be 4x and 5x. Since B's share is Rs. 4800, we have 5x = 4800, so x = 960. The total amount is the sum of the shares, which is 9x, giving 9 multiplied by 960. The total amount is Rs. 8640.
