Solution

ATQ, From I: Only percentages are given, no actual rupee amounts. Many possible salary values satisfy the given percentages ⇒ I alone is not sufficient. From II: Let salary = x. Given savings = 35% of salary = 12,600 0.35x = 12,600 x = 12,600 / 0.35 = 36,000 Unique value for salary ⇒ II alone is sufficient.
