Statement I is merely an interpretation of the information contained in the question

However, Vipin's salary can be determined from statement II as follows

Let Vipin's and Javed's salaries be 4x and ax respectively.

Then, 3x = 4500 or x = 1500 Vipin's salary = 4x = Rs 6000.

Thus, II alone is sufficient.
