Answer» Correct Answer - Option 5 : Quantity I ˃ Quantity II Quantity I: 8 months Quantity II: Let the total profit be Rs. x ⇒ Bhavik’s share = 2x / 3 ⇒ Kunal’s share = (x) - (2x / 3) = x / 3 Profit ratio of bhavik and Kunal = 2 : 1 Let total capital be Rs. a and period of investment of Bhavik be ‘t’ months ⇒ [(5a / 6) × t] : [(a / 6) × 5] = 2 : 1 ⇒ [5at / 6] : [5a / 6] = 2 : 1 ⇒ [(5at / 6) × (6 / 5a)] = 2 : 1 ⇒ t = 2 months ∴ Quantity I ˃ Quantity II. |
