Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

Let B remained in the business for x months. Then, $ A:B=(2250\times 12):(2700\times x) $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 2:1=(27000:2700x)=(10:x) $

$ \therefore $ $ \frac{10}{x}=\frac{2}{1} $ $ [\because ratioofprofitis2:1] $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 2x=10 $

$ \therefore $ $ x=\frac{10}{2}=5 $ Clearly, B joined after $ (12-5)=7 $ months.
