A. 4 months
B. 6 months
C. 8 months
D. 10 months
[expand title=”Show Answer” swaptitle=”Hide”]
Correct Answer : D
Explanation :
Let the total profit be Rs. z. Then,
B’ share = Rs. 2z/3, A’s share = Rs. [z – 2z/3] = Rs. z/3
∴ A : B = z/3 : 2z/3 = 1 : 2.
Let the total capital be Rs. x and suppose B’s money was used for x months. Then,
[1/4 x * 15] / [3/4 x * y] = 1/2 ⇔ y = [15 * 2 / 3] = 10.
Thus, B’s money was used for 10 months

[expand title=”Show Answer” swaptitle=”Hide”]
Correct Answer : A
Explanation :
Clearly, Albert invested his capital for 12 months, Peter for 9 months and Ronald for 3 months.
So, ratio of their capitals = (45000 * 12) : (60000 * 9) : (90000 * 3)
= 540000 : 540000 : 270000 = 2:2:1.
∴ Alfred’s share = Rs. [16500 * 2/5] = Rs. 6600;
Peter’s share = Rs. [16500 * 2/5] = Rs. 6600;
Ronald’s share = Rs. [16500 * 1/5] = Rs. 3300.
