    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Ratio of profit received by ‘M’ and ‘N’ = {3600 × (t + 6)}:{4500 × (t - 1)} = (6600 – 2700)/2700 Or, (3600t + 21600):(4500t - 4500) = 3900/2700 Or, (12t + 72):(15t - 15) = 13/9 Or, 108t + 648 = 195t - 195 Or, 843 = 87t Or, t = 843/87 = 9.69 (approximately 10)
