Rahul, Anurag and Vivek started a business together. In what proportion would the annual profit be distributed among them?

I . Rahul got one-fourth of the profit.

II. Rahul and Vivek contributed 75% of the total investment.

I alone sufficient while II alone not sufficient to answer

II alone sufficient while I alone not sufficient to answer

Either I or II alone sufficient to answer

Both I and II are not sufficient to answer

Both I and II are necessary to answer

Answer : Option E

Explanation :

Let the total investment be Rs. x.

Then, R =\((\frac { X } { 4 })\)

R + V =[\( \frac { 75 } {100 } \)xx]=\( \frac { 3X} { 4 } \)

V =[\( \frac { 3X} { 4 } \)-\( \frac {X} { 4 } \)]=\(\frac { X} { 2 } \)

A = x -[\(\frac { X} { 4} \)+\(\frac { X} { 2} ]\)=\(\frac { X} { 4} \)

R : A : V =\(\frac { X} { 4} \):\(\frac { X} { 4} \):\(\frac { X} { 2}\)=1:1:2

Thus, both I and II are needed to get the answer.
