The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the information provided in the statements about the investments made by A, B, and C, and how these investments relate to the profits they earn. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement A Statement A says that A invested Rs. 1500 more than C. - Let C's investment be \( C \). - Then A's investment can be expressed as \( A = C + 1500 \). ### Step 2: Analyze Statement B Statement B states that A invested 2 times more than B, and C invested 3 times more than A. - If we let B's investment be \( B \), then A's investment can be expressed as \( A = 2B \). - Since C invested 3 times more than A, we can express C's investment as \( C = 3A = 3(2B) = 6B \). ### Step 3: Combine Statements A and B From Statement A, we have: 1. \( A = C + 1500 \) 2. From Statement B, we have \( A = 2B \) and \( C = 6B \). Substituting \( C \) from Statement B into Statement A: \[ A = 6B + 1500 \] Now, equate the two expressions for A: \[ 2B = 6B + 1500 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 2B - 6B = 1500 \implies -4B = 1500 \implies B = -375 \] This indicates a contradiction since investments cannot be negative. Therefore, we need to check the statements independently. ### Step 4: Analyze Statement C Statement C states that B invested 200% more than A and 100% less than C. - If A's investment is \( A \), then B's investment can be expressed as: \[ B = A + 2A = 3A \] - If B invested 100% less than C, then C's investment can be expressed as: \[ C = B + B = 2B = 2(3A) = 6A \] ### Step 5: Calculate Total Investments Now we have: - From Statement B: \( A = 2B \) and \( C = 6B \) - From Statement C: \( B = 3A \) and \( C = 6A \) ### Step 6: Calculate Profit of B The total investment can be expressed as: \[ Total = A + B + C = 2B + B + 6B = 9B \] The profit of B is proportional to his investment: \[ Profit_B = \frac{B}{Total} \times X = \frac{B}{9B} \times X = \frac{1}{9}X \] ### Conclusion To find the profit of B, we can use either Statement B or Statement C alone, as both provide sufficient information to calculate B's profit based on the total profit \( X \). ### Final Answer The answer is (b) B or C alone.

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the information provided in the statements about the investments made by A, B, and C, and how these investments relate to the profits they earn. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement A Statement A says that A invested Rs. 1500 more than C. - Let C's investment be \( C \). - Then A's investment can be expressed as \( A = C + 1500 \). ### Step 2: Analyze Statement B ...
