• B. If statement II alone is sufficient but statement I along is not sufficient to answer the question.
• C. If both statements I and II together are required to answer the question but neither statement alone is sufficient
• D. If statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

(i) The daily water supply to the village = 700 million gallons From this 12\(\%\) is lost i.e 84 million gallons 
(ii) Cost for every 24,000 gallons of water lost = ₹25 and for 84 millions it is 25 x 3500 = 87500 rs 
Using (i) and (ii) we can find the loss in rupee per day. 
Hence, option C is the correct answer.The correct option is (C): If both statements I and II together are required to answer the question but neither statement alone is sufficient
