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
