b. Q joined four months after the start of business.

c. Q's amount was 80% of P's amount during the last six months.

A) Only a B) Only c
C) Both a & b D) Data is not sufficient
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Data is not sufficient

Explanation:

a. P's investment = (80000 x 6 + 60000 x 6) = 840000 for 1 month.

b & c. Q's investment = 80% of Rs. 60000 for 8 months.

= Rs.(48000 x 8) for 1 month = 384000 for 1 month

P : Q = 840000 : 384000 = 35 : 16.

But, the total profit is not given, so data is inadequate.
