• A. If the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question,while the data in statement II alone not sufficient to answer the question;
• B. If the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question,while the data in statement I all are not sufficient to answer the question;
• C. If the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question;
• D. If the data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question;
• E. If the data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

If the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question,while the data in statement I all are not sufficient to answer the question;

From Statement I : (A + C) > B > (E + D) We can't answer the question on the basis of statement I. We need some more information.
From Statement II : C > A > (E + D) And 'C' has the second position in descending order of their salaries. Hence B is the highest salary earner.

Hence the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question,while the data in statement I all are not sufficient to answer the question.

Hence option B is correct.
