Only I and III
Question cannot be answered even with the information in all the three statements.
All I, II and III
None of these
Answer: Option
Explanation:

I and II give:

   K = Rs. (8000 x 9) for 1 month = Rs. 72000 for 1 month.

   N = Rs. 1 x 8000 x 12 for 1 month = Rs. 24000 for 1 month.
4

   R = Rs. 48000 for 1 month.

K : N : R = 72000 : 24000 : 48000 = 3 : 1 : 2.

III gives, total profit = Rs. 1000.

Rohit's share = Rs. 1000 x 2 = Rs. 333 1

Even with all I, II and III, the answer cannot be arrived at
None of these
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Since R's investment is not given, the above ratio cannot be give.
