Let the number of paychecks be 'n'
So, Per paycheck payment= 18000/n
Statement 1: It is sufficient as it gives the value of n=24
Statement 2: It is also sufficient, as we get, n=2*12= 24

Gross annual salary = $18, 000
Question : What was the gross salary received in each of the paychecks?

Statement 1: The employees received a total of 24 paychecks during the year.
$$therefore,gross salary per paycheck=\frac{\left[\$18,000\right]}{24}$$
= $750
Statement 2 is also sufficient.
Final answer is option D, because each statement alone is sufficient.
