A started a business with 14000 and B joined afterward with 12000 . If the profit at the end of a year was divided in the ratio 2:1 respectively, then after how much time B would have joined A?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
A B
inv.→ 14000 12000
× 12 × X
profit→ -----------------------------------------
given→ (2 : 1)
\(\frac{14000 × 12 }{12000× X }\) = \(\frac{2}{1}\)
\(\frac{14}{X}\) = \(\frac{2}{1}\)
x = 7
So, B joined after ( 12 - 7 ) = 5 Months
