D Correct answer
Explanation

Statement I: Capital ratio a:b:c = 3:4:5. Statement II: Time ratio a:b:c = 1:2:3. For partnership profit distribution, share = capital × time. Calculating: A's share = 3×1 = 3 units; B's share = 4×2 = 8 units; C's share = 5×3 = 15 units. However, without knowing the total profit amount, we cannot determine C's actual monetary share (only the proportion 15/26). Even together, the statements don't provide sufficient information.
