On a particular day each of Danish, Ethan and Farhan sold three types of pens from their respective shops. Danish and Ethan sold an identical number of pens of Type A while Farhan sold 3/2 times as many pens of Type A as Danish and Ethan together sold. The ratio of the numbers of pens of Type B sold by Danish, Ethan and Farhan was 4:3:1 respectively, and Danish and Farhan sold an identical number of pens of Type C each, while Ethan sold 5/2 as many pens of Type C as each of Ethan and Farhan sold. The three sellers sold each of the types of pens at different prices per unit. 

Assertion (A): It is possible that Danish sold each pen of Type A at a loss of Rs 1, each pen of Type B at a profit of Rs 5, and each pen of Type C at a loss of Rs 3 and made an overall profit of Rs 114; Ethan sold each pen of Type A at a profit of Rs 4, each pen of Type B at a loss of Rs 3, and each pen of Type C at a profit of Rs 5 and made an overall profit of Rs 267; and Farhan sold each pen of Type A at a profit of Rs 8, each pen of Type B at a profit of Rs 5, and each pen of Type C at a loss of Rs 7 and made an overall profit of Rs 60.
