Answer 1

Answer:

Statement II is alone sufficient to give an answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

Given the information, the salaries of a and b are in the ratio 2:3.

Let us assume,

salary of A = 2x

Salary of B = 3x

Given the information, the total salary of a and b is rs 15000 (Statement II)

So, 2x+3x= 15000

5x= 15000

x= 15000/5=3000

So, salary of A = 2x = 2×3000= 6000

Salary of B = 3×3000= 9000.

So, the Salary of A is ₹ 6000.

So, Statement II is alone sufficient not to need statement I.
