Correct Answer Statement I and Statement II together are sufficient to answer the question.
Considering statement I,
I. Salaries of Ajeez and Sujith are in the ratio 5 : 6
∴ This statement is not sufficient alone
Considering statement II,
II. Salaries of Ajeez and Sujith are in the ratio 9 : 10, when their salaries are increased by Rs.3000.
∴ This statement is not sufficient alone
Considering statement III,
III. The date of joining of Ajeez and Sujith are same.
∴ This statement is not sufficient alone
Considering statement I and II,
I. Salaries of Ajeez and Sujith are in the ratio 5 : 6
II. Salaries of Ajeez and Sujith are in the ratio 9 : 10, when their salaries are increased by Rs. 3000.
Let, the salaries of Ajeez and Sujith be 5x and 6x respectively
Both salaries are increased by 3000, and then ratio becomes 9 : 10
(5x + 3000) / (6x + 3000) = 9/10
50x + 30000 = 54x + 27000
4x = 3000
∴ x = 750
∴ We can find the initial salaries of Ajeez and Sujith.
∴ Statement I and Statement II together are sufficient to answer the question.
