for ram

Principle amnt=.36x
time=12 mnths
rate=r
profit(int)=9/17 (y)

eqn 1

9y/17=(0.36 x * 12 * r)/100------>r=9y/17 * 10000/(36x * 12)

for shyam

P amnt= 0.64 x
time=t
rate=r=9y/17 * 10000/(36x * 12)
I=8/17 (y)

eqn
8y/17= 0.64 x * t * [9y/17 * 10000/(36x * 12) ]/100

solving t=6

Hence A

(A) 6
(B) 7
(C) 8
(D) 9

Answer : A
I ( profit) = PRT
For R,

9P/17 =.36P x R x 1

R= 25/17

For S,

8P/17 =.64P x 25/17 x T

8=16T
T = 1/2 which is 6 months.
Choose A.
