  1. Correct Answer is 4 months
    Explanation : If A is investing 2/5 of total investment that means B is investing 3/5.
    So the ratio of investments are 2:3
    A is getting twice of profit that means Ratio of their profits is 1:2

    Note down the formula of profit's ratio in partnership
    Ratio of P = Ratio of I * Duration
    A is working for 12 months
    so (2*12)/(3*x) = 1/2

    Solve it and you will find 4 months
