Correct answer is: Data inadequate
Explanation:
The ratio of the earnings of A and BB is 4:7
Let Earnings of A=4k
Earnings of B=7k
Earnings of A now becomes 4k+\frac{1}{2}×4k=4k+2k=6k
Earnings of B now becomes 7k−\frac{1}{4}×7k=\frac{3}{4}×7k=\frac{21k}{4}
Now ratio of earnings are \frac{6}{\frac{21}{4}}=\frac{24}{21}=\frac{8}{7}
Hence the Data is Inadequate.
