Options:

5 months

6 months

3 months

4 months

Correct Answer:

3 months

Explanation:

                  A                     B             Total

Capital        3                     4         ⇒       7

Time           9                    x

-----------------------------------------------------------

Profit           9                    4         ⇒       13

 Now, ATQ

\(\frac{3 × 9}{4 × x}\) = \(\frac{9}{4}\)

x = 3 

x = 3 months
