Solution:

Concept:

Total of a set of items equals the average multiplied by the number of items.

Explanation:

Statement I gives only the largest deposit, ₹2,500, and the smallest deposit, ₹270.

The remaining two deposits are unknown, so the total deposit cannot be found from Statement I alone.

Statement II states that the average deposit is ₹1,250.

Monu made 4 deposits in total.

Therefore, total deposit = average deposit × number of deposits =

1250 \times 4 = 5000

Hence, Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Answer:

Option B: If the data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone is not sufficient.
