    A 16 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 28 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the investment period of Sita = a Then Nina’s investment period = a + 9 The ratio of profit share of Nina to Sita = 100:(100 – 30) = 100:70 = 10:7 Investment ratio of Nina to Sita = 7000:5600 = 5:4 According to question, 5(a + 9)/4a = 10/7 35(a + 9) = 40a 35a + 315 = 40a 5a = 315 a = 63 The investment period of Sita = 63 months
