AI explanation

Let the profit shares for A, B and C be 6x, 3x and 4x respectively. Statement one reveals the total profit is 13x because C's share is 8000, meaning x equals 2000 and the total profit is 26000. Statement two reveals the difference between A and B is 3x, so 3x equals 6000, which also makes x equal 2000 and the total profit 26000. Because either statement independently provides the total profit of 26000 on the total investment of 52000, the profit percentage is calculated as 50 percent using either statement alone.
