      Solution

      According to the question,
      (5000 × 12) : {4000 × (12 – x)} = (9000 – 3000) / 3000
      Or, 60000 : {4000(12 – x)} = 6000 / 3000
      Or, 60000 : {4000(12 – x)} = 2 : 1
      So, 60000 × 1 = 2 × 4000(12 – x)
      60000 = 8000(12 – x)
      60000 = 96000 – 8000x
      8000x = 96000 – 60000
      8000x = 36000
      x = 4.5 months
