    A and B are partners in a business. A contributes\[\frac{1}{4}\]of the capital for 15 months and B received\[\frac{2}{3}\]of the profit. Find for how long B's money was used?

    A)  6 months         

    B)  8 months

    C)  10 months       

    D)  12 months

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] A's profit: B's profit \[=\frac{1}{3}:\frac{2}{3}=1:2\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\frac{A's\text{ }equivalent\text{ }capital}{B's\text{ }equivalent\text{ }capital}=\frac{1}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\frac{\frac{x}{4}\times 15}{\frac{3x}{4}\times n}=\frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow \,\,\frac{15}{3n}=\frac{1}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,n=10\,\,months\]
