Options
A. If the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question
B. If the data in statement II alone are sufficient answer the question
C. If the data either in I or II alone are sufficient to answer the question;
D. If the data even in both the statements together are not sufficient to answer the question

Correct Answer

If the data in statement II alone are sufficient answer the question

Explanation

The present price of the mixer can he calculated from statement II as follows

Let the earlier price be Rs x.

Then, 10% of x = 220 or x = 2200. Present price = Rs (2200 + 220) = Rs 2420.

So, only II is needed.
