Out of the total money received, Miss Mishra invested 62.5% in various schemes, gave 25% of the total money received to her husband and daughter and the remaining money she spent on miscellaneous items. 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 in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E If the data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From I. Suppose Mishra receives Rs. 100x as retirement fund. Then, 100x - (20 + 15)x = 65% Again, 65x - (65x × 90)/100 = 6.5x So, 6.5x = 3,90,000 ∴x = (390000×10)/65 = Rs. 60,000 ∴ Mishra’s retirement fund = Rs. 60,000 Hence I alone is sufficient. In statement II, neither the total amount nor the remaining amount is given. Hence, with this statement we cannot answer the question.
