E Correct answer
Explanation

To find Nandita's share, we need profit distribution ratio. Statement I gives Nandita's investment (Rs. 50,000) but not her brother's. Statement II says Nandita's investment is 40% of her brother's, so brother invested 50,000/0.4 = 125,000. Ratio = 50,000:125,000 = 2:5. Neither alone is sufficient; together they give the ratio to calculate Nandita's share = (2/7)×21,000 = Rs. 6,000.
