The correct Answer is:
To determine the salary of B in the group of A, B, C, and D, we need to analyze the information provided in the statements. **Given:** - The average salary of A, B, C, and D is Rs. 62880. **Step 1: Calculate the total salary of A, B, C, and D.** - Since the average salary is Rs. 62880, we can find the total salary by multiplying the average by the number of individuals (4 in this case): \[ \text{Total Salary} = \text{Average Salary} \times \text{Number of Individuals} = 62880 \times 4 = 251520 \] **Step 2: Analyze Statement I.** - Statement I states that the total of the salaries of A and C is an exact multiple of 10. Let’s denote: - Salary of A = A - Salary of C = C - Salary of B = B - Salary of D = D From Statement I, we have: \[ A + C = 10k \quad \text{(for some integer k)} \] However, this information alone does not provide us with any specific value or relationship that allows us to determine B's salary. Therefore, Statement I alone is **not sufficient** to answer the question. **Step 3: Analyze Statement II.** - Statement II states that the average of the salaries of A, C, and D is Rs. 61665. Using this information, we can calculate the total salary of A, C, and D: \[ \text{Total Salary of A, C, and D} = \text{Average Salary} \times \text{Number of Individuals} = 61665 \times 3 = 184995 \] **Step 4: Calculate the salary of B.** - Now we can find B's salary using the total salaries calculated: \[ B = \text{Total Salary of A, B, C, D} - \text{Total Salary of A, C, D} \] Substituting the values we found: \[ B = 251520 - 184995 = 66525 \] Thus, we have determined that the salary of B is Rs. 66525. **Conclusion:** - Statement I is not sufficient to determine B's salary. - Statement II is sufficient to determine B's salary. The answer is that **Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while Statement I alone is not sufficient.** **Final Answer: Option 2.** ---
