Statement III: Let, total profit = 11x C’s share = 11x × (4/11) = Rs.4x Now, (4x × 2 × 10)/100 = 1680 Or, x = 2100 Or, 11x = 23100 Total profit = Rs. 23100. So, data in statement III alone is sufficient to answer the question. Hence, option e.The data in any of the given statements alone is sufficient to answer the question
