Searching for "11:12"

Q:

The ratio of investments of two partners is 11:12 and the ratio of their profits is 2 : 3. If A invested the money for 8 months , find for how much time B invested his money.

Answer

Suppose A invested Rs.11 for 8 months and B invested Rs. 12 for x months.


\inline \therefore Ratio of investments of A and B


                  = (11 x 8) : (12 x x)


                  = 88 : 12x 


\inline \therefore \inline \frac{88}{12x}=\frac{2}{3}\Rightarrow x=11
