Explanation

Total money = 4 × 10000 = 40000. Statement I: A + B = 35000 (insufficient alone). Statement II: C = D - 1000 (insufficient alone). Together: A + B + C + D = 40000 and C + D = 40000 - 35000 = 5000. From C = D - 1000 and C + D = 5000, we get C = 2000, D = 3000. But A + B = 35000 could be distributed in infinite ways (e.g., A=10000,B=25000 or A=15000,B=20000). Hence insufficient.
