Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: Both statements together are sufficient. Suresh's monthly salary = Rs. 2587.50.
Lalit’s salary = Rs. 2500 (from the second statement).
Tina’s salary = 10% less than Lalit = 0.9 × 2500 = Rs. 2250.
Suresh’s salary = 15% more than Tina = 1.15 × 2250 = Rs. 2587.50.
Why each statement alone is insufficient:
The first statement only gives percentage relationships between Suresh, Tina, and Lalit but provides no numeric salary to compute a value.
The second statement gives Lalit’s salary but, without the relationship from the first statement, it does not connect Lalit’s salary to Suresh’s.
Conclusion: Both statements together allow a straightforward calculation resulting in Suresh’s monthly salary = Rs. 2587.50.
