If you read the Direction it says You have to study the question and all the "three statements" given to decide whether any information provided in the statement (s) "is redundant and can be dispensed" with while answering the given question.

That means, the examiner wants us to check whether the statements given are redundant.

In the given question, we need to identify 3 variables and with the help of statements we can only solve 2 variables. So every statement is redundant. Hence Option D is correct. Trust the matter is understood.
