Using Statement I, The profit-sharing ratio can be calculated based on the investments of A and B over 12 months. However, the total profit is not provided, so this statement alone is not sufficient. Using Statement II, The profit-sharing ratio and Bs share of Rs. 19,000 allow us to calculate the total profit. Since the ratio is 1419, the total profit is Rs. 19,000 14 19 19 Rs. 33,000. This statement alone is sufficient to answer the question. Answer B
