Answer: Option A
Solution (By Examveda Team)
P : Q = 1,50,000 : 4,50,000 = 1 : 3Total profit = 2,00,000
\[\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {}&{\text{P}}&{\text{Q}}&{{\text{Total}}} \\ {{\text{Required}} = }&{50,000}&{1,50,000}&{2,00,000} \\ {{\text{Obtained}} = }&{90,000}&{1,10,000}&{2,00,000} \end{array}\]
P's salary = 90,000 - 50,000 = 40,000
