I. Retirement age is 60 years.
II. There are 50 employees in the department.

• A. I alone sufficient while II alone not sufficient to answer
• B. II alone sufficient while I alone not sufficient to answer
• C. Either I or II alone sufficient to answer
• D. Both I and II are not sufficient to answer
• E. Both I and II are necessary to answer

Answer 1

The correct option is E Both I and II are necessary to answer

I. Retirement age is 60 years.
II. There are 50 employees in the department.
Average age of 50 employees = 30 years.
Total age of 50 employees $=(50\times 30)years=1500years.$
Number of employees next year = 40.
Total age of 40 employees next year $(1500+40-60\times 10)=940.$
Average age next year $=\frac{940}{40}years=23\frac{1}{2}years.$
Thus, I and II together give the answer. So, correct answer is (E).
