Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Given ratio: Vipin : Javed = 4 : 3.
Statement I analysis: Javed's salary is 75% of Vipin's, so Javed = 0.75 × Vipin = 3/4 × Vipin. This matches the given ratio but provides no numeric amount, so Vipin's actual salary cannot be determined from this statement alone.
Statement II analysis: Javed's salary is Rs.4500. Using the ratio Vipin = (4/3) × Javed = (4/3) × 4500 = 6000, so Vipin's salary is Rs.6000.
Conclusion: Statement II alone is sufficient to determine Vipin's salary (Rs.6000); statement I alone is not sufficient.
