    A began a business with Rs. 4500 and was joined afterwards by B with Rs. 5400. If the profits at the end of the year were divided in the ratio 2 : 1, B joined the business after

    A) 4 months

    B) 5 months

    C) 6 months

    D) 7 months

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Suppose B remained in the business for x months. Then, \[A:B=(4500\times 12):(5400\times x)\] = (54000 : 5400x) = (10 : x)             \[\therefore \] \[\frac{10}{x}=\frac{2}{1}\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[2x=10\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[x=5\] Thus, B remained in the business for 5 months. So, B joined the business after 7 months.
