• 14. 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.

  1. 8 months
  2. 10 months
  3. 11 months
  4. 17 months

  Answer And Explanation

  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
