Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Key idea: express salaries with a common multiplier.
Let Vinod = 4k and Karan = 3k for some k.
Consider the statement that Karan's salary is 75% of Vinod's: this says Karan = 0.75 × Vinod, which is equivalent to the given 4:3 ratio. It provides no numeric value, so it does not determine the actual salaries.
Consider the statement that Karan's salary is Rs 4500: substitute 3k = 4500, so k = 1500. Then Vinod = 4k = 4 × 1500 = 6000.
Final answer: Vinod's salary is Rs 6000. Therefore the numeric statement about Karan's salary alone is sufficient, while the 75% statement alone is not.
