Statement II provides the specific expenditure amounts and percentages, as the food expenditure of Rs. 12,500 can be linked to the total expenditure percentage or treated as a standalone component with the 15% tuition to find the total salary. Statement I and III only provide the expenditure ratio but lack any absolute monetary value to find the exact salary. Therefore, only Statement II gives sufficient data to calculate the total savings.
