    Solution

    According to the question,
    (4000 Γ— 12) : {3000 Γ— (12 – x)} = (6750 – 2250) / 2250
    Or, 48000 : {3000(12 – x)} = 4500 / 2250
    Or, 48000 : {3000(12 – x)} = 2 : 1
    So, 48000 Γ— 1 = 2 Γ— 3000(12 – x)
    48000 = 6000(12 – x)
    48000 = 72000 – 6000x
    6000x = 72000 – 48000
    6000x = 24000
    x = 4 months
