II. After 5 yr, the ratio of Anand's and Sujeet's ages will be 7 : 6 .
Options- A. If the Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question but the Statement II alone is not sufficient
- B. If the Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question but the Statement I alone is not sufficient
- C. If both the Statement I and II together are needed to answer the question
- D. If either the Statement I alone or Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question
- Correct Answer
- If the Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question but the Statement I alone is not sufficient
ExplanationFrom Statement II,
The ratio of their ages after 5 yr is 7 : 6
So, (6k + 5) / (5k + 5) = 7/6
? 36k + 30 = 35k + 35
? 36k - 35k = 35 - 30
? k = 5
? Age of anand = 6 x 5 = 30 yr
So, Statement II is alone sufficient. - 1. What is the speed of the boat in still water?

Correct Answer:
Explanation:
We know that,
Speed of boat in still water
= (Speed upstream + Speed downstream)/2
From Statements I and II,
Speed = (6 + 4)/2 = 10/2 = 5 km/h
So, answer can be determined from both statements.
Correct Answer: If the data given in Statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question whereas the data given in Statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question
Explanation:
Data given in Statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question
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,
R = (SI x 100) / (P x T)
? (1736 x 100)/(6200 x 2) = 14%
From Statement II,
1348.2 4500(1 + r/100)2 - 4500
? 1348.2 + 4500 = 4500(1 + r/100)2
? 5848.2 = 4500((1 + r/100)2
? 5848.2/4500 = (1 + r/100)2
? 3249/2500 = (1 + r/100)2
? (57/50)2 = (1 + r/100)2
? 1 + r/100 = 57/50
? r/100 = 57/50 - 1 = 7/50
? r = 7 x 100/50
? r = 14%
Both statement are alone sufficient.
Correct Answer: If the data in both the Statement I and II are not sufficient to answer the question
Explanation:
Data are not sufficient even from Statement I and II both.
Correct Answer: I, II and III
Explanation:
(X + Y)'s 1 day's work = 1/8 ..(i)
(Y + Z)'s 1 day's work = 1/10 ...(ii)
(Z + X)'s 1 day's work = 1/12 ..(iii)
Adding equations i , ii , iii
2(X + Y + Z)'s 1 day's work = 1/8 + 1/10 + 1/12
(X + Y + Z)'s 1 day's work
= 1/2[1/8 + 1/10 + 1/12] ..(iv)
Subtracting Eq. (iii) from Eq. (iv), we get Y's 1 day's work,
Then, required number of days
= 1/Y's 1 day's work
Correct Answer: If the Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question but the Statement II alone is not sufficient
Explanation:
From Statement II,
Suppose the number be N.
N - 3N/5 = 90,
? 2N/5 = 90
N = 225
From Statement II,
N/4 = (25 x N)/100
? N/4 = N/4
So, Statement i is required.
Correct Answer: if both the Statement I and II together are needed to answer the question
Explanation:
From the Statement I and II.
Salary of A = 5 x 65780 - (88545 + 59020)
= 328900 - 147565 = ? 181335
Both Statement are required.
Correct Answer: if either the Statement I alone or Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question
Explanation:
From Statement I,
Selling price of watch = ? 15675
and the cost price of a watch = 15675 x 4/5
= ? 12540
? Profit = 15675 - 12540 = ? 3135
From Statement II,
Cost price of a watch
= 15675/100 + 25 x 100 = ? 12540
? Profit = 15675 - 12540 = ? 3135
Correct Answer: If either the Statement I alone or Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question
Explanation:
Suppose the number be P.
From Statement I.
P x 2/5 = 1/2 x 204
? P x 2/5 = 102
? P = 102 x 5/2
? P = 255
From Statement II.
P x 20/100 = 51
? P = 51 x 100/20
? P = 255
Both statements alone are sufficient to answer the above question.
Correct Answer: If both Statement I and II together are needed to answer the question
Explanation:
From Statement I and II,
Length of plot = 375 m
Breadth of plot = 375/3 m = 125 m
Area of rectangular plot = Length x Breadth
Area of rectangular plot = 375 x 125 sq m = 46875 sq m
