Answer: (5)
Solution: (5)
Let $B$ join $A$ in the partnership after $x$ months.
Profit ratio of A and B $=3600 \times 12: 4000 \times(12-x)$
$=54: 5(12-x)$
$\therefore \frac{54}{60-5 x}=\frac{6}{5}$
$\Rightarrow 360-30 x=54 \times 5=270$
$\Rightarrow 30 x=360-270=90$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{90}{30}=3$ months
