  • Question
  • Aayush and Babloo are partners in a business. Aayush contributes 1/4 of the capital for 15 months and Babloo received 2/3 of the profit. How long Babloo's money was used?


  • Options
  • A. 10 months
  • B. 9 months
  • C. 11 months
  • D. 7 months

  • Correct Answer
  • 10 months 

    Explanation

    Let the total capital be ? R and Babloo's money is used for N months.
    Capital of Aayush = R/4
    ? Capital of Babloo = (R - R/4) = 3R/4

    Ratio of investments of Aayush and Babloo
    = (R/4) x 15 : (3R/4 x b) = 15/4 : 3N/4 = 5 : N

    Ratio of profits of Aayush and Babloo = (1/3) : (2/3) = 1 : 2
    ? 5/N = 1/2
    ? N = 10 months

    Hence, Babloo's money was used for 10 months.
