Consider the given question and decide which of the following statements is sufficient to answer the question. How much did Mr. X earn in the year 2000? Statements: 1. Mr. X earned ₹ 7.000 in 2003, which is 10% more than what he earned in 2000. 2. Mrs. Y, Mr. X's wife, earned half of the amount Mr. X earned, and they together earned ₹ 9.000 in 2000. Correct Answer Either 1 or 2 is sufficient to answer the question.

Calculation:

From statement 1:

Earning in 2003 = 110% of Earning in 2000

⇒ 7000 = (11/10) × Earning in 2000

So we can calculate his earning in 2000

From statement 2:

Mrs. Y + Mr. x = 9000

⇒ Mr. X/2 + Mr. X = 9000

So we can also calculate his earning in 2000 by statement 2

∴ Either 1 or 2 is sufficient to answer the question.
