The answer is wrong, even the solution also proves that

Question:

A and B enter into a partnership with capitals in the ratio 5:6 and at the end of 8 months, A withdraws. If they receive profits in the ratio of 5 : 9, find how long B’s capital was used.

Options:
A)

8 months

B)

9 months

C)

11 months

D)

12 months

E)

None of these

Solution:

5x × 8 : 6x × y

5x × 8 6x × y    =  59   

82y    =  13   

y = 12 months
