    What is the yearly salary of Mr. Rohan? I. Sohan

    earns Rs. 44000 more than Mohan in a year who earns Rs. 16000 more than Rohan per annum. II. The total salary of Rohan and Sohan together for one year is Rs.192000. Each of the questions below consists of a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. Read both the statements and give answer –
    A If the data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B If the data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C If the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D If the data even in both statements I and II together and not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E If the data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From statement (i), S = M + 44,000 and R = M – 16,000 From the above we cannot get the answer. But with the help of above and statement (ii),  M + 44,000 + M – 16,000 = 1,92,000 ⇒ 2M + 28,000 = 1,92,000 ∴ M = 82,000 ∴ Rohan’s salary = M – 16,000 = 82,000 – 16,000 = Rs.66,000 Hence, with the help of both the statement we can get the answer.
