Correct Answer: if the data in either Statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question
Explanation:
From Statement I,
R = (SI x 100) / (P x T)
⇒ (1736 x 100)/(6200 x 2) = 14%
From Statement II,
1348.2 4500(1 + r/100)2 - 4500
⇒ 1348.2 + 4500 = 4500(1 + r/100)2
⇒ 5848.2 = 4500((1 + r/100)2
⇒ 5848.2/4500 = (1 + r/100)2
⇒ 3249/2500 = (1 + r/100)2
⇒ (57/50)2 = (1 + r/100)2
⇒ 1 + r/100 = 57/50
⇒ r/100 = 57/50 - 1 = 7/50
⇒ r = 7 x 100/50
∴ r = 14%
Both statement are alone sufficient.
