Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer: Neither statement alone nor both together are sufficient to determine Anil's monthly salary.
Statement 1: Anil’s and Akash’s salaries are in the ratio 3:2.
Explanation: This gives only a relative comparison (the ratio) and no absolute salary amount. Thus it is insufficient to find Anil's exact monthly salary.
Statement 2: Akash’s salary is 30% of Anil’s salary (Akash = 0.3 × Anil).
Explanation: This provides a numerical relation but not an absolute salary. Without a known salary value, Anil's monthly salary cannot be determined from this alone.
Both statements together:
Explanation: Statement 1 implies Anil:Akash = 3:2. Statement 2 implies Anil:Akash = 1:0.3 = 10:3. These two relations are inconsistent (3:2 ≠ 10:3). Even ignoring the inconsistency, neither statement gives an absolute value for any salary, so together they still do not determine Anil's monthly salary.
Conclusion: The information provided is insufficient to find Anil's monthly salary.
