• A. if the data in Statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement II alone are 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 alone are not sufficient to answer the question;
• C. if the data even in both Statements I and II together are not 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 III together are necessary to answer the question.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

if the data in Statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question;

4E + 3M + 5C = 7300
3C = 2M $\to$ M = 1.5C
3E = 2C $\to$ E = 0.66C
Solving them together, we get C = 600
$\therefore$ M = 1.5C = 900
