Statements :
I. N earns more than M and P but less than only D.
II. M earns more than P who earns less than K.

A. I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient

B. II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient

C. Either I or II is sufficient

D. Neither I nor II is sufficient

E. Both I and II are sufficient

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

From I, we have: N > M, N > P, D > N. Thus, we have: D > N > M > P or D>N> P>M.
But, from II, M earns more than P i.e. D > N > M > P. Also, since P earns less than K and N earns less than only D, so we have: D>N>K>M>P or D>N>M> K > P.
Hence, either K or M earns more than only the least earner i.e. P.
