Answer» Correct Answer - Option 5 : 6 months Given: Suresh starts a business with Rs.36000 , After a certain period of time Deepak invests Rs,27000 Formula used: \(Ratio\;of\;profit = \frac{{Capital\;of\;A \times Times}}{{Capital\;of\;B \times Times\;}}\) Calculation: Let Deepak's investment be for x months. ⇒ \(\frac{8}{3} = \frac{{36000 \times 12}}{{27000 \times X}}\) ⇒ \(X = \frac{{36000 \times 12 \times 3}}{{8 \times 27000}}\) = 6 ∴ Deepak join after 6 months |
