A starts a business with Rs.3600. After a certain period of time B joined A with an investment of Rs.2700. At the end of the year they divided the profit in the ratio 8 : 3. For what time period did B joined A ?1. 3month2. 6month3. 9month4. 15month5. 12month

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.
