      Solution

      ATQ, Let the investment of 'P' be Rs. 'x' and time after which 'Q' joined the business be 'm' months. Profit share of Q = 1,850 - 1,184 = 666 Ratio of profit share of P and Q respectively = 1,184:666 = 16:9 So, (x X 16) :[6,000 X (16 - m) = 16:9 Or, x Ă· [6,000 X (16 - m) = (1/9) Or, x Ă· (16 - m) = (2,000/3) Statement I: 8,000 Ă· (16 - 4) = (8,000/12) = (2,000/3) So, statement I is true. Statement II: 6,000 Ă· (16 - 7) = (6,000/9) = (2,000/3) So, statement II is true. Statement III: 3,000 Ă· (16 - 10) = (3,000/6) = (1,000/3) So, statement III is false. Therefore, only statement III is false.
