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 –

    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.
