I. 4p + 3q + 5r = 60, 2p = q, 2q = r
II. 3p + 3q + 2r = 34, 2p + 5q + 6r = 72
Options- A. If the data in Statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question
- B. If the data in Statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question
- C. If the data in either Statement I alone or in Statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question
- D. If the data in both the Statements I and II are not sufficient to answer the question
- Correct Answer
- If the data in Statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question
ExplanationFrom Statement I , given that
4p + 3q + 5r = 60...............(i)
2p = q
? p = q/2 ................(ii)
and 2q = r ....................(iii)
putting the value of p and r in terms of q in Eq. (i),
4 x q/2 + 3q + 5 x 2q = 60
15q = 60
? q = 4
put the value of q in Eq. (ii)
? p = q/2 = 4/2
p = 2;
put the value of q in Eq. (iii)
? r = 2q = 2 x 4
? r = 8
? value of p2 + q + r = (2)2 + 4 + 8 = 16
From Statement II,
3x + 3y + 2z = 34 ..............(a)
and 2x + 5y + 6z = 72 ....(b)
We cannot find the value of p, q and r from Eqs. (a) and (b) - 1. What is Raveena's age?

Correct Answer: If the Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question but the Statement I alone is not sufficient
Explanation:
From Statement I,
Raveena is half as old as Karishma. But we don't know the age of Karishma.
From Statement II,
Age of Raveena = three-fifth of her mother's age
Age of Raveena = Age of her Mother x 3/5
Age of Raveena = 45 x 3/5 = 27 yr
Correct Answer: If the Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question but the Statement II alone is jot sufficient
Explanation:
Apply the law of Simple Interest.
Simple Interest ( S.I ) = (P x R x T)/100
where Principal amount = P,
Rate of Interest = R% per year and
Time = T years.
Then
T = (S.I x 100)/P x R
From Statement I,
? T = 6570 x 100/36500 x 6
? T = 6570 x 1/365 x 6
? T = 1095 x 1/365
? T= 1095/365
? T= 3 yr
I statement is enough to answer the question. II statement is not enough alone to answer the question.
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
The total number of student is given in the question.
Number of teachers are less than students, But we cannot tell exact how many teachers are there in school.
Data is insufficient, so we cannot get answer from all two statements.
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
from Statements I and II,
9 - 9 = 0 and 9 + 9 = 18
So, number = 99
Correct Answer: Any two of three
Explanation:
Area of triangle = 1/2 x Base x Height
So, to find the area, the measure of height and base is required which can be obtained by any of the two statement.
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
From Statement I,
Area of square = 576 sq cm
? Side of square = Square root of Square's area
? Side of square = Square root of 576 = 24 cm
and area of rectangle = 600 sq cm
area of rectangle = ( length x breadth ) of rectangle
We cannot find the length of rectangle
From Statement II,
Breadth of rectangle = side of square x 1/2
Breadth of rectangle = 24 x 1/2 = 12 cm
? Length of rectangle = 600/12 = 50 cm
? Ratio = Length of rectangle/ Side of square = 50/24
= 25/12
Correct Answer: If the data in either Statement I alone or in Statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question
Explanation:
From Statement I.
Let the ratio proportion is x.
some of angle of triangle = 180 °
3x + 5x + 4x = 180 °
12x = 180 °
x = 180 ° /12
x = 15 °
Largest angle of triangle
= 5x = 5 x 15
= 75 °
? Larger angle of parallelogram
= 75 ° + 34 °
= 109 °
? Smaller angle of parallelogram
= 180 ° - 109 °
= 71 °
From Statement II,
Let the smaller angle of parallelogram be = x
and the larger angle of parallelogram = x + 38 °
Sum of two opposite angles of a parallelogram = 180 °
x + x + 38 ° = 180 °
? 2x = 180 ° - 38°
? 2x = 142°
? x = 142° / 2
? x = 71 °
Correct Answer: If the data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
Explanation:
Data in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question. Hence, required answer is option D .
Correct Answer: if the data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question.
Explanation:
From I: P > O > N
From II: L > M From I and II, either M or N is the shortest. We can't determine who is shorter between the two of them.
Correct Answer: if the data either in statements I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question; and
Explanation:
From I: If all of them face the centre, it means if A sits second to the left of B, then B should sit second to the right of A. But here Amit and Arun are different persons. Hence all of them do not face the centre
From II: Again suppose of them face the centre like KEN. Ali sits third to the left of ken. Now, if Amit sits on the left of Ali obviously ken should be his neighbour. But the statement says otherwise. Hence our assumption is disproved. All of them do not face the centre.
