Correct Answer: 7


Solution : Given: The investment made by Rohit = Rs. 75,000
And investment made by Simran = Rs. 60,000
And the ratio of profits = 3 : 1
Let the time of investment Simran be $t$ months respectively.
So, $75000\times 12:60000\times t = 3:1$
⇒ $\frac{5\times 12}{4t}=\frac{3}{1}$
⇒ $t$ = 5 months.
Since we are talking about investment in a year only, so, after 12 - 5 = 7 months Simran joins Rohit.
Hence, the correct answer is 7.
