Question

Ravi and Rashmi invested 150 and 200 respectively in a business but Ravi withdrew his money after a few months. If the end-of- twelve-months' profit was shared between Ravi and Rashmi in the ratio 1: 2, after how many months did Ravi take out his money? (A) 4 (B) 6 (C) 8 (D) 10

Answer 1

We know that Ravi Invested 500

And the time period for that would be t months

And the investment made by Rashmi is 200

and the time period in which Rashmi made the investment is 12 months.

150(t) : 200(12)

150t : 2400

3t : 48  

t : 16

Ratio of profit = Ratio of Investment

1:2 = t:16

1/2 = t/16

t = 8

So the answer to this question is Option C: 8
