Directions: This data sufficiency problem consists of a question and two statements labelled (1) and (2). You have to decide whether the data given in the statements is sufficient for answering the question. Neha, Ravi and Priya earned profit in a business. If the profit earned in the business is proportional to the investment and the period of investment, then find Neha's share in profit. (1) Neha invested her capital for 6 months more than Ravi and Ravi and Priya invested their capital for 6 months. (2) Ravi's share in profit is Rs. 5,000 more than the profit share of Priya.

  1. Statement (1) alone is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.

  2. Statement (2) alone is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.

  3. Both statements (1) and (2) together are not sufficient

  4. Each statement alone is sufficient.

C Correct answer
Explanation

Profit depends on both investment amount and time. Statement 1 gives info on time but not investment amounts. Statement 2 gives a difference in profit but not the total investment or time. Neither statement provides enough information to determine Neha's specific share.

AI explanation

Statement 1 gives the investment periods as 12 months for Neha and 6 months each for Ravi and Priya, but provides no information about their investment amounts or the total profit. Statement 2 only gives the difference between Ravi's and Priya's profit shares, which is insufficient to find Neha's share without knowing the actual total profit or the investment amounts. Therefore, both statements together are not sufficient to answer the question.
