Question: How many employees of Bank Z opted for VRS ?

Statements:

  1. 18% of the 950 officer cadre employees and 6% of the 1100 other cadre employees opted for VRS.
  2. 28% of the employees in the age-group of 51 to 56 and 17% of the employees in all other age-groups opted for VRS.

I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
Either I or II is sufficient
Neither I nor II is sufficient
Both I and II are sufficient
Answer: Option
Explanation:

From I, we have: number of employees who opted for VRS = 18% of 950 + 6% of 1100 = 171 + 66 = 237.

From II, we cannot get the required answer until and unless the number of employees in age-group 51 to 56 and other age-groups is known.

As Bank Z is not mentioned in the options, how can we conclude the answer?

So, I think option D is correct.
