Detailed Solution

Let A contribution will be x And B contribution will be (30000-x)
= x30000-x
When the ratio will be exchanged then,
= 30000x - xx
According to the question
(30000-x)-x =175100x
30000-2x = 175100x
30000=  175100x-2x
30000= 375100x
8000=x
30000-x = 30000-8000
x= 22000
So the capital investment of B will be 22000.
