Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 6month Given: Investment of A = Rs.3600 Investment of B = Rs.2700 Ratio of profit of A and B = 8 : 3 Calculation: ⇒ Ratio of Profit = (Capital of A × Time)/(Capital of B × Time) ⇒ Let B’s time period in the investment = X month. ⇒ (3600 × 12)/(2700 × X) = 8/3 ⇒ X = (3600 × 12 × 3)/(2700 × 8) X = 6 months ∴ B joined A for 6 months. |
