B Correct answer
Explanation

Total ratio = 3+6+5 = 14. B's share = (6/14) * 35000 = 6 * 2500 = 15000.

AI explanation

B's investment ratio is 6 out of the total ratio of 3 + 6 + 5 = 14. Since the time period is the same for all partners, the profit is divided strictly in the investment ratio. B's share of the 35000 profit is calculated as (6/14) * 35000. This simplifies to 15000.
