Correct Answer - Option 1 : Either statement I or II alone is sufficient.

Statement I:

Other expenditure = Rs. 20000

Savings = (60/100) × (100/40) × 20000 = Rs. 30000

Percentage = (30000/60000) × 100 = 50%

Statement II:

Share of three sister = 3 × 4000 = Rs. 12000

Share of brother = Rs. 5000

Savings = 60% of (60000 – 12000 – 5000) = Rs. 25800

Percentage = (25800/60000) × 100 = 43%

Statement III:

Savings = 15000 + share of each sister

60000 = share of three sister + share of brother + other expenditure + 15000 + share of each sister

45000 = 4 × share of each sister + share of brother + other expenditure

Given data is not sufficient to determine the answer.

Hence, this statement is not sufficient alone.
