Data Sufficiency — retirement with full pension by Jan 2006: can Ritesh retire? Rules: In office X, full pension requires minimum 30 years of service and age 60. Statements: I. Ritesh completes 30 years of service in April 2000 and wishes to retire. II. As per rules, an employee needs 30 years of service and age 60; Ritesh has 3 years to complete age 60. Choose the correct sufficiency option.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Neither I nor II is sufficient

Explanation:

Analysis

I alone: Shows service condition met in 2000, but gives no information about Ritesh’s age in Jan 2006 ⇒ insufficient.
II alone: Says Ritesh is 3 years short of 60 “now” (reference time not specified) ⇒ cannot decide for Jan 2006 ⇒ insufficient.
Together: Without an explicit reference date for the “3 years” remark, we still cannot conclude status in Jan 2006.
