A) 6 months
B) 8 months
C) 10 months
D) 12 months
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
| Let capital of A and B be 5x and 6x, |
| Let B invested for y months. |
| Ratio of their investments, \[\frac{5x\times 8}{6x\times y}=\frac{40x}{6xy}=\frac{40}{6y}\] |
| Ratio of their profit = 5 : 9 |
| \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{40}{6y}=\frac{5}{9}\]\[\Rightarrow \,\]\[y=12\,months\] |
