Answer : 4. "Data is not sufficient"
Explanation :

Answer: D) Data is not sufficient Explanation: a. P's investment = (80000 x 6 + 60000 x 6) = 840000 for 1 month. b & c. Q's investment = 80% of Rs. 60000 for 8 months. = Rs.(48000 x 8) for 1 month = 384000 for 1 month P : Q = 840000 : 384000 = 35 : 16. But, the total profit is not given, so data is inadequate.
