Given:
Geeta started a business with capital of Rs 7000
Seeta joined as a partner with the investment of Rs. 6000
Ratio of profit of Seeta and Geeta is 2 : 1
Formula Used:
The ratio of profit earned is equal to the ratio of product of capital invested to the time
Calculation:
Let Seeta invested after T months
Investment of Geeta = Rs. 7000 × 12
Investment of Seeta = Rs. 6000 × (12 – T)
According to the question,
(7000 × 12)/( 6000 × (12 – T)) = 2/1
⇒ 84000 = 144000 – 12000T
⇒ 12000T = 60000
⇒ T = 5
∴ Seeta joined after 5 Months
