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 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 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 the Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question but the Statement I alone is not sufficient
Explanation:
From 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.
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 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
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
From Statement I,
Marks scored by Sunil = 288 and marks scored by Raman = 288 - 128 = 160
? Maximum marks = 160 x100/25 = 640
From Statement II,
Minimum passing Marks = 160 + 64 = 224
? Minimum passing percentage
= 224 x 100 /640 = 35%
Hence, the data in both the statements necessary to answer the question.
Correct Answer: if the data given in both the Statement I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
Explanation:
Using Statement I: The gender of F is not known So, we cannot says if F is granddaughter or grandson of B.
Using Statement II: The name of B has not even been mentioned. Using both statements together.
Correct Answer: if the data either in Statement I alone or in Statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
Explanation:
Using Statement I: If the time is 9 o'clock now then after 30 minutes ie at 9:30 the angle between the minute and hour hand cannot be 90°. So, now time is not 9 o'clock.
Using Statement II: If the time is 9 o'clock now then after 15 minutes before the hour and minute hand of the clock can never coincide with each other Instead they will have an angle of 7.5°. So, the time now is not 90°' clock.
Correct Answer: if the data in Statements II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.
Explanation:
Using Statement I: We cannot determine if all the fiends are facing the centre.
A is the facing outside of C is facing the centre of circle. So, all friends are not facing the centre.
