Each of the questions given below consists of a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements is sufficient to answer the question. Read both the statements. Give answer
What is the annual salary of Mr. X.
I. The ratio of monthly salaries of X and Y is 9 : 7.
II. The monthly salary of X is more than that of Y by Rs. 16000.
Statement I : Let monthly salary of X = Rs. $$9x$$ and Y = Rs. $$7x$$
Statement II : $$X - Y = 16,000$$
Combining above statements, we get :
=> $$9x - 7x = 16,000$$
=> $$x = \frac{16,000}{2} = 8,000$$
$$\therefore$$ X's annual salary = $$12 \times 9x = 108x$$
= $$108 \times 8,000$$ = Rs. $$8,64,000$$
Thus, both statements together are required to answer the question.
