Explanation:

Looking at the initial statement , we know that mn < 100.

Looking at statement I ,we get to know that the product mn has to be a multiple of 10 since it is divisible by 6 consecutive integers .So the product can be either 10, 20, 30 ….90

Now of all these numbers only 60 is divisible by 6 consecutive numbers i.e. numbers 1 to 6.60 can be expressed as a product of 2 nos. in the following ways : 1 × 60, 2 × 30, 3 × 20, 4 × 15, 5 × 12, 6 ×10

So from statement I alone we cannot determine values of m and n. Looking at statement II alone determine values of m and n as the only information provided to us is that “m + n” is a perfect square. So we can have numerous possibilities for m and n [e.g (7, 9), (2, 7), (1, 3) etc ]

Combining both statements out of (1, 60), (2, 30), (3, 20), (4,15), (5, 12), (6, 10), the only pair of values such that “m+n” is a perfect square is (6, 10). Hence both statements are required to answer the question.

Hence, option (b).
