A started a company with Rs. 85,000. After that, B joined him with Rs. 42,500. If the earnings at the end of the year are divided in the ratio of 3:1, how long does B join?
A. 4 months B. 5 months C. 6 months D. 8 months
Explanation: Assume B has been a member for x months. Then,After that, 85000 x 12/42500 x x = 3/1.85000 x 12/ 42500 x 3 = x = 85000 x 12/ 42500 x 3 = 8.As a result, B enrolled for a period of eight months.
