The ratio of investment of A and B is 15 : 22 and the ratio of their profit at the end of the year is 3 : 11 . If A invested the money for 2 months, then for how much time (in months) B invested his money? |
2 months 3 months 5 months 7 months |
5 months |
A : B Inv. Ratio ⇒ 15 : 22 Profit Ratio ⇒ 3 : 11 Time Ratio ⇒ \(\frac{3}{15}\) : \(\frac{11}{22}\) ⇒ \(\frac{1}{5}\) : \(\frac{1}{2}\) ⇒ 2 : 5 Here, According to the ratio, A invests his capital for 2 months (given), then B invest his capital for 5 months. [*Time Ratio = \(\frac{Profit\;ratio}{Inv.\;ratio}\)] |
