  • Only 1 and 2
  • All 1, 2 and 3

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

We will require all the statements to answer this question,

1 and 2 will give :
C = Rs. (8000 x 9) for 1 month = Rs. 72000 for 1 month.
A = Rs. (1/4 * 8000 * 12 ) for 1 month = Rs 24000 for 1 month
B = Rs 48000 for one month

C:A:B = 72000 : 24000 : 48000 = 3 : 1 : 2

From 3, we will get total Profit = 1000

Now from the ratio and total profit we can get Share of C.

C share will be = 1000 * 2/6 = 333 (1/3)
