D Correct answer
Explanation

Statement I says Sanju invested 12.5% more than Manjeet and joined after 6 months, but we don't know the actual investment amounts. Statement II says the difference was Rs. 4500 which was 20% of total profit, giving total profit = Rs. 22,500. However, to find Sanju's share, we need the investment ratio and time period. From I alone, we only have relative amounts, not absolute values. From II alone, we have no investment information. Even together, we cannot determine the absolute investment amounts, only their ratio.
