a. Total amount invested in the business in Rs. 22,000.

A) Only c is sufficient B) Both a & b are sufficient
C) Both A & B gives result D) None

Explanation:

a and b give, profit after 3 years = Rs.(3/8 x 22000) = Rs.8250.

From c also, profit after 3 years = Rs. (2750 x 3) = Rs. 8250.

∴ P's share = Rs.(8250 x 5/11) = Rs. 3750.

Thus, (either C is redundant) or (a and b are redundant).
