          Answer & Explanation
         Answer: C) Both A & B gives result         
         
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).
