      A and B started a retail store with initial investments

      in the ratio 5:6 and their annual profits were in the ratio 2:3. If A invested the money for 4 months, then for how many months did B invest his money?

      C 7.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Suppose A invested Rs. 5x for 4 months and B invested 6x for y months then, ⇒  (5x × 4)/(6x × y) = 2/3 ⇒  y = (20x × 3)/(6x × 2) ⇒  y = 60x/12x ⇒  y = 5
