Answer: C


Let X be the salary of A one year ago.
Then, the salary of B one year ago is 2X.

The salary of A now is 2X * 3/2 = 3X.
The salary of B now is 2X * 4/3 = 8/3X.

The total present salary of A and B is 3X + 8/3X = 21500.

Solving this equation gives us X = 3000.

Substituting this value back into the equation for the salary of B now, we find that the salary of B is 8/3 * 3000 = 8000.

Therefore, the salary of B is 8000.
