Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 2 : 1

Given:

Krishna starts a business with 45,000.

Three months later Arjun joins him with 30,000.

The time period of Krishna is 12 months.

Concept Used:

L1: L2 = I1 ×  T1 : I2 ×  T2 

Here, L = Loss, I = Investment, T = Time

Calculation:

Three months later Arjun joins him with 30, 000.

The time period of Arjun = (12 - 3) = 9 months

Then, L1: L2 = 45000 × 12 : 30000 × 9

⇒ L1: L2 = 2 : 1

∴ The ratio of the loss is 2 : 1.
