Manoj began a business with Rs. 555 and was joined afterwards by Mahesh with Rs. 111. When did Mahesh join if the profits at the end of the year were divided in the ratio 15 : 1?1). 9 months2). 8 months3). 4 months4). 11 months |

Answer» Let ‘x’ be the NUMBER of months for which Mahesh INVESTED his Rs. 111. $(\begin{array}{l} \THEREFORE \frac{{555 \times 12}}{{111 \times x}} = \frac{{15}}{1}\\ \therefore \frac{{60}}{x} = 15 \end{array})$ ⇒ x = 4 ⇒ Mahesh invested his money for 4 months, i.e 12 - 4 = 8 months after MANOJ invested his money ∴ Mahesh joined after 8 months. |
