Statement 1: The sum of Rick’s annual salary and Jim’s annual salary is equal to Ed’s annual salary.
From this statement we get that R + J = E = 36000. Therefore R = 36000 - J
We cannot find Ricks annual salary from this data alone
Therefore Statement 1 Alone is Insufficient. Answer options could be B, C or E
Statement 2: The sum of Rick’s annual salary and Ed’s annual salary is equal to twice Jim’s annual salary.
R + E = 2J. Therefore R = 2J - 36000
Again, we cannot calculate Ricks salary from this data alone.
Therefore Statement 2 Alone is Insufficient. Answer Options could be C or E.
Combining Both Statements:
From 1: R = 36000 - J or J = 36000 - R
From 2: R = 2J - 36000, therefore J = (R + 36000) / 2
Equating, we get 36000 - R = (R + 36000) / 2
72000 - 2R = R + 36000
Solving, we get R = 12000
Therefore Both Statements together are Sufficient.
