Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 14 Given: Ram and Sita invested capital in the ratio 4 : 5. The time Sita invested her money for was one year lesser than that invested by Ram. The ratio of their profits is is in the ratio 6 : 7. Formula: Ratio of Profit = ratios of product of Amount invested and time Calculation: Let the money invested by Rama and Sita be 4x and 5x respectively. Let the time they invested for be t and t – 1 respectively. Ratio of profit = 4xt/5x(t-1) ⇒ 4xt/{5x (t-1)} = 6/7 ⇒ 4t/{5(t-1)} = 6/7 ⇒ 28t = 30t – 30 ⇒ 2t = 30 ⇒ t = 15 Time Sita invested for = t – 1 = 15 – 1 = 14 years ∴ The time Sita invested the money for is 14 years. |
