I. Javed's salary is 75% that of Vipin's salary. 

II. Javed's salary is Rs 4500. 

A) If the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question B) If the data in statement II alone are sufficient answer the question
C) If the data either in I or II alone are sufficient to answer the question; D) If the data even in both the statements together are not sufficient to answer the question
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) If the data in statement II alone are sufficient answer the question

Explanation:

Statement I is merely an interpretation of the information contained in the question

However, Vipin's salary can be determined from statement II as follows

Let Vipin's and Javed's salaries be 4x and ax respectively.

Then, 3x = 4500 or x = 1500 Vipin's salary = 4x = Rs 6000.

Thus, II alone is sufficient.
