    Since sum is 360 hence P + Q + R + S = 360
    From statement I alone we will get P = (Q + R + S)/3 from this we can find the value of P hence statement I alone is sufficient enough.
    From statement II alone we can not find the value of P.

    Correct Option: A

    Since sum is 360 hence P + Q + R + S = 360
    From statement I alone we will get P = (Q + R + S)/3 from this we can find the value of P hence statement I alone is sufficient enough.
    From statement II alone we can not find the value of P.
