C Correct answer
Explanation

Statement II gives the ratio chain: Pushpendra:Qareem = 4:3 and Qareem:Ranjeet = 3:1. Combining these (using Qareem as the link) gives Pushpendra:Qareem:Ranjeet = 4:3:1. This is sufficient to determine the investment ratio. Statement I gives actual amounts but not the full ratio (we only know Pushpendra's share). Statement III about profit is irrelevant to the investment ratio question.
