An amount of money was distributed among A, B and C in the ratio p : q : r.

Consider the following statements :

1. A gets the maximum share if p is greater than (q+r).

2. C gets the minimum share if r is less than (p+q).

Which of the above statements is/are correct?

Ratio of distribution of money among A, B and C is p : q : r.

Considering statement 1: If p > (q + r), then p is definitely the largest number.
So, A must have got the maximum share. Hence, statement 1 is correct.

Considering statement 2: If r < (p + q), then r may or may not be the smallest number. For example, 5 < (2 + 4).
So, C may or may not have got the minimum share. Hence, statement 2 is incorrect.
