5. Rahul and Bharti are partners in a business. Rahul contributes 1/4th capital for 15 months and Bharti received 2/3 of profit. For how long Bharti money was used.

  • 8 months
  • 10 months
  • 11 months
  • 17 months

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the total profit be Rs. Z

Bharti's share = (2/3)Z
Rahul's Share = Z-(2/3)Z = Z/3

Rahul:Bharti = Z/3:(2/3)Z = 1:2

Now let the total capital be Rs X, and Bharti capital was used for Y months
then, Rahul capital will be (1/4)X and Bharti capital wil be X-(1/4)X = 3X/4
\begin{aligned}
\frac{\frac{1}{4}X*15}{\frac{3}{4}X*Y}= \frac{1}{2} \\
Y = \frac{15*2}{3} = 10
\end{aligned}

So Bharti's money was used for 10 months
