E Correct answer
Explanation

Statement III says A = Rs 45000. Statement I says A:B = 2:3, so B = (3/2)*45000 = Rs 67500. Statement II says A = 40% of total, so total = 45000/0.4 = Rs 112500, then B = total - A = 112500 - 45000 = Rs 67500. Either I or II combined with III gives the answer. Thus option E is correct.
