    2. If the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question
    3. If the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
    4. If the data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
Correct Option: D

According to question ,
From statement I ,
Cost of carpet = $ 450 per m2
From statement II ,
Perimeter of the hall = 2( L + B ) = 50 metre
To find out the cost of laying carpet we need
(i) cost of carpet per m2 and,
(ii) Area of the floor to be carpeted. Both the information even together are not sufficient to fulfil our need.
