D Correct answer
Explanation

From statements II and III: Amal : Vimal = 5 : 3 and Vimal = Amal - 1000. Solving gives Amal = Rs. 2500 and Vimal = Rs. 1500. Using statement I: Pravin = Amal + 1200 = Rs. 3700. All three statements are needed - II and III give Amal's salary, then I gives Pravin's salary relative to Amal. Only I or only II is insufficient, and II+III alone give Amal but not Pravin.
