B The data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.

C The data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.

D The data even in both the statements I and II together II alone not sufficient to answer the question.

E The data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.

Solution

Correct Answer: Option B

From statement I,

Given: He spends 13% on insurance premium, 5% on medicines and 14% on rest expenses.

Here expenditures are given but with these data we cannot reach at the salary of X.

∴ The data in Statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question

From statement II,

Given: Even after spending of 32% of his salary, he is able to save Rs.4080

Let his salary be Rs. A.

Then, after spending 32% of his salary, remaining salary = (100 – 32)% = 68%

∴ 68% of a = 4080

\(\Rightarrow \frac{{68}}{{100}} \times a = 4080\)

\(\Rightarrow a = 4080 \times \frac{{100}}{{68}}\)

⇒ a = Rs 6000

∴ The data in Statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question
