Let Shyam joined after x years.
So, time period for Shyam will be (12-x) months.
whereas time period for Ramu will be 12 months.
Since it is mentioned that the profits at the end of the year are shared equally.
21000*12 = 36000*(12-x)
or, 12 - x = 7.
or, x = 12 - 7 = 5.
Therefore, Shyam has joined after 5 months. [Ans]
