Two persons X and Y invested Rs.15000 and Rs.20000 respectively in a business. At year end they share the profit in the ratio 3:1. If X invested his money for the whole year, for how many months did Y invest his money?
A3 ✓ Correct
B6
C5
D4
Correct answer: (A) 3
Explanation
Y invested his money for 3 months.
Profit shares follow money multiplied by time.
(15000 x 12) / (20000 x t) = 3 / 1.
180000 = 60000 x t.
t = 3 months.
