Solution

The profit ratio is determined by the amount of money each person invested and the time for which they invested their money.

In this case, A invested Rs. 80000 and B invested Rs. 20000.

The time for both A and B is the same, which is 3 years.

So, the profit ratio will be directly proportional to the amount of money they invested because the time period is the same for both.

Therefore, the profit ratio of A to B will be 80000:20000.

We can simplify this ratio by dividing both numbers by 10000.

So, the profit ratio of A to B will be 8:2.

Further simplifying it by dividing by 2, we get the ratio as 4:1.

So, the profit earned after 3 years should be divided between A and B in the ratio 4:1 respectively.
