      C 7 months Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the number of months for which Ramesh invested his money = β€˜Y’ months Ratio of profit shares of Ashish and Ramesh = (8400 Γ— 12):(9600 Γ— Y) = 100800:8000Y = 21:2Y Let profit share of Ramesh be Rs. β€˜100a’ So, profit share of Ashish = 1.05 Γ— 100a = Rs. β€˜105a’ ATQ; (21/2Y) = (105a/100a) So, Y = 10 Therefore, Ramesh joined the business (12 – Y) = 2 months after Ashish.
