A Correct answer
Explanation

The ratio of investments is 60,000 : 50,000, which simplifies to 6 : 5. Gunther's share is 5/(6+5) of the total profit of 33,000. This equals (5/11) * 33,000 = 15,000.

AI explanation

The profit is divided in the investment ratio of 60000 : 50000, which simplifies to 6 : 5. To find Gunther's share, calculate 5 / (6 + 5) of 33000, which is 33000 * 5 / 11. This results in Rs. 15,000.
