  • Question
  • Amit and Brijesh started a business with initial investments in the ratio of 12 : 11 and their annual profits were in the ratio of 4 : 1. If Amit invested the money for 11 months, then for what time Brijesh invested the money?


  • Options
  • A. 9 months
  • B. 3 months
  • C. 5 months
  • D. 10 months

  • Correct Answer
  • 3 months 

    Explanation

    Let investment of Amit = 12k
    and investment of Brijesh = 11k
    Let Brijesh invested the money for N months.

    Then,
    Amit's investment : Brijesh's investment
    = (12k x 11) : (11k x N) = 132k : 11kN = 12 : N
    ? 12/N = 4/1 [ ? ratio of profit is 4 : 1]
    ? 4N = 12
    ? N = 12/4 = 3 months
    Clearly, Brijesh invested money for 3 months.
