      after ‘x’ months with an investment of Rs. 5000 less than ‘U’. If the ratio of the profits received by them after 2 years is 5:2, then find the time after which ‘V’ joined.
      A 16 months Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 14 months Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 12 months Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 20 months Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 10 months Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Respective ratio of the profits received by ‘U’ and ‘V’
      = (25000 × 24) : {20000 × (24 – x)} = 5/2
      Or, 24 – x = 12
      Or, x = 12 months
