    D Only I Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Only III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Investment of Amit = P + 10 Investment of Ben = P Investment of Chetna = (P + 10)/2 Then, Profit ratio, Amit: Ben: Chetna = ((P + 10) x 2m): (P x 2m): ((P + 10)/2) x m Profit ratio, Amit: Ben: Chetna = 3A: 2P: 2Q Then, ((P + 10) x 2m): (P x 2m) = 3A: 2P A = 2(P + 10)/3 And, ((P + 10) x 2m): ((P + 10)/2) x m = 3A: 2Q A = 8Q/3
