Ramesh started a business by investing Rs. 48000 and after some months Suresh joined him with Rs. 36000. The profit is divided in the ratio…

Let Suresh invested capital for t months

Ratio of profit = Ratio of Ramesh’s capital × time ? Ratio of Suresh’s capital × time

⇒ 4 ? 1 = 48000 × 12 ? 36000 × t

⇒ 4 ? 1 = 16 ? t

⇒ 4/1 = 16/t

⇒ t = 4 months

∴ Suresh join Ramesh after 12 - 4 = 8 months
