B. 3 : 4

C. 5 : 4

D. 4 : 3

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Seema's share}} \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {25000 \times \frac{3}{5}} \right) \cr & = {\text{Rs}}.15000. \cr & {\text{Meena's share}} \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {25000 \times \frac{2}{5}} \right) \cr & = {\text{Rs}}.10000. \cr} $$
∴ Required ration
= (15000 + 5000) : (10000 + 5000)
= 4 : 3
