We can simply compute per month investment of both partnership 
Raj invested Rs 76,000 for 12 months and Monty invested Rs 57,000 for x months. 
Now 76000 × 12 / 57000 × x = 2 :1 
=> 76 × 12 / 2 = 57x 
=> x = 8 
So Monty invested his money for 8 months and he joined after 4 months.

Q8) A and B invest in a business in the ratio 3:2. If 5% of the total profit goes to charity and A's share is Rs. 855, the total profit is:

B) Rs. 1500 

C) Rs. 1537.50 

D) Rs. 1576 

Solution :

Let the total profit be Rs. 100. 
After paying to charity, A's share = Rs.95 x3/5 = Rs. 57. 
If A's share is Rs. 57, total profit = Rs. 100. 
If A's share Rs. 855, total profit = 100/57x 855= 1500. 

Q9) Ravi, Ram and Raj together started a business in partnership. The ratio of their capitals is 4:5:9.If their annual profit be Rs. 30600/-. What will be Raj’s share in this profit?

= Rs(30600 * 1/2) = 15300/- 
Ram’s share = (30600 * 5/18) = 1700 * 5 = 8500/- 
Ravi’s share = 6800/-
