    Statement I: Anthony got Rs 12000 as his share of profit.

    C If the data either in statement I alone or statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D If the data given in both I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E If the data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From I, Anthony got Rs 12000 so 2x = 12000 So x = Rs 6000 So total profit = 5x + 3x + 2x = 10x = 10 × 6000 = Rs 60,000 So profit% = 60000/120000 × 100 = 50% From II , 5x - 2x = 9000 So, x = 3000 Further same as in I.
