Answer with explanation

Answer: Option C

Explanation

4 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that C was there in the business for x months

 

A:B:C = 40000*12 : 60000*10 : 120000*x

 

= 40*12 : 60*10 : 120x = 40 : 5*10 : 10x

 

=8 : 10 : 2x

 

= 4 : 5 : x

 

C’s share = 375000*x/(9+x) = 150000

 

=> 375x/(9+x) = 150

 

=> 15x = 6(9+x)

 

=> 5x = 18 + 2x

 

=> 3x = 18

 

=> x = 18/3 = 6

 

It means C was there in the business for 6 months. Given that B joined the business

 

after 2 months. Hence C joined after 4 months after B joined
