Explanation: (B) The question asks for the percent increase from 2013 to 2014, which is \(\frac{\text{Salary}_{2014} - \text{Salary}_{2013}}{\text{Salary}_{2013}}\). Statement 1 gives \(\text{Salary}_{2013}\), but not \(\text{Salary}_{2014}\). Not sufficient. Statement 2: Let \(\text{Salary}_{2012} = S\). \(\text{Salary}_{2013} = 1.2S\). \(\text{Salary}_{2014} = 1.3S\). Percent Increase = \(\frac{1.3S - 1.2S}{1.2S} = \frac{0.1S}{1.2S} = \frac{1}{12}\), which is a definitive percentage (approx. 8.33%). The ratio/percentage can be calculated without the actual salary figures. Therefore, statement 2 alone is sufficient.
