Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Ssc Cgl answered
Ratio of investments = Ratio of profits
Let the profits of K, L and M be Rs.15x, Rs.20x and Rs.27x respectively....
Total profit = Rs.15x+Rs.20x+Rs.27x = Rs.62x
Given, Rs.62x = Rs.10230 => x = Rs.165
Then, The difference between share of K and L = Rs.20x – Rs.15x = Rs.5x = Rs.5*165 = Rs.825...

Rahul and Bharti are partners in a business. Rahul contributes 1/4th capital for 15 months and Bharti received 2/3 of profit. For how long Bharti money was used?
  • a)
    8 months
  • b)
    10 months
  • c)
    11 months
  • d)
    17 months
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Bharti’s share of profit = 2/3
Thus Rahul’s share of profit = 1 – 2/3 = 1/3
Hence profit sharing ratio of Rahul and Bharti = 1/3 : 2/3 = 1 : 3
Rahul’s share of capital = 1/4
So, Bharti’s share of capital = 1 – 1/4 = 3/4
Now let Bharti’s capital was used for y months
Therefore, one month equivalent capital of Rahul = 1/4 × 15 = 15/4
And one month equivalent capital of Bharti = 3/4 × y = 3y/4
So, 15/4/3y/4 = 1/2
=> y = 10 (option ‘B’)
