Question
A started a business with Rs. 21,000 and is joined afterwards by B with Rs. 36,000. After how many months did B join if the profits at the end of the year are divided equally?
Answer: Option B
- Suppose B joined after x months.
Then, 21000 x 12 = 36000 x (12 - x) ⇔ 36x = 180
⇔ x = 5.
Hence, B joined after 5 months.
