Answer 1

Answer:

4

Explanation:

Let number of months Monty worked be x.

76000*12/57000*x=2/1

Calculating this, we get x=8

so Monty worked for 8 months.

Now,after how many months Monty joined Raj =12-8=4

Answer 2

Answer:

8 months

Explanation:

Let Raj invested Rs.76000 for 12 months and Monty invested Rs.57000 for x months

Then $\frac{7600*12}{5700*x} = \frac{2}{1}$

⇒$x = \frac{76*12}{57*2}$​

⇒x=8

Hence, Monty invested for 8 months .
