Partnership

Question:

A and B are partners in a business. A contributes \(\frac{4}{9}\) of the capital for 15 months and B received \(\frac{5}{11}\) of the profit. For how long B's money was used?

Options:

10 months

6 months

9 months

8 months

Correct Answer:

10 months

Explanation:

                  A                     B             Total

Capital        4                     5         ⇒       9

Time           15                    x

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

Profit           6                    5         ⇒       11

 Now, ATQ

\(\frac{4 × 15}{5 × x}\) = \(\frac{6}{5}\)             (*Profit ratio = Inv. ratio × time ratio)

x = 10 

x = 10 months
