The following question has three statements. Study the question and the statements and decide which of the statement(s) is necessary to answer the question. P, Q and R entered into a partnership. If the profit earned in the business is proportional to the investment and the period of investment then what is the ratio of the share of profit between P and Q after one year if all of them invested for one year? I) R's investment was the same as that Q. II) R got 1/3 of the total profit. III) Q's investment was Rs. 100000.

I) R's investment was the same as that Q. II) R got 1/3 of the total profit. III) Q's investment was Rs. 100000. Correct Answer I and II together
Considering Statement III,
Q’s investment = Rs. 100000
Hence, this statement is not sufficient alone.
Considering Statement I and II together,
From II, R got 1/3 of the total profit.
From I, R's investment was the same as that Q.
⇒ Q also gets 1/3 of the total profit.
∴ P gets the remaining 1/3 as the profit.
Hence, the ratio of the share of profit between P and Q after one year = 1/3 : 1/3
i.e Ratio = 1 : 1
Thus, the question can be answered using statements I and II together.
