IMO Ans D

Suppose N buss reported net profit, I had investment and NI had both

As per question
N+NI = 21 ----- (1)
I+NI = 15 ----- (2)

Stmt 1 => NI = 12
Only N = 21-12 = 9
Only I = 15-12 = 3

Buss that have no profit no investment = 30 - (12 + 9+ 3) = 6

Stmt 2
N + I + NI = 24

Buss with no profit no investment = 30 - 24 = 6
