D Correct answer
Explanation

Statement I: R + D = 27000 and this is 150% of their expenditure, so (R + D)'s expenditure = 27000/1.5 = 18000. This gives combined expenditure but not individual incomes. Statement II: Expenditure ratio is 5:4, but no absolute values. Combining: If expenditure ratio is 5:4, individual expenditures are 10000 and 8000. But we don't know the income split - only total income is 27000. Without knowing how income relates to expenditure individually, we cannot determine Rakesh's income alone.
