Let the number of months for which Mohit invests in the business be 'n' Investment of Mohit = 10,800 + 7,200 = Rs. 18,000 Ratio of profit shares of Anand and Mohit respectively: = (10,800 x 16) :(18,000 x n) = 48:5n Profit share of Mohit = 6,480 - 2,880 = Rs. 3,600 So, 48:5n = 2880:3600 Or, 48:5n = 4:5 So, 'n' = (48/4) = 12 Therefore, Mohit joined the business after (16 - 12) = 4 months.
