    I. Product of number is 702800.
    II. sum of the the number is 105.


  • Options
  • A. if statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.
  • B. if statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
  • C. if both statement I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
  • D. if both statement I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.

  • Correct Answer
  • if statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. 

    Explanation

    Let the 7 consecutive whole numbers be (n ± 3), (n ± 2), (n ± 1), n.
    Now i we consider Statement I alone
    Product of these 7 integers = 702800
    Since 702800 = 24 52 (251)(7), it cannot be the product of 7 consecutive whole numbers. Hence I alone is insufficient.
    Now if we consider Statement II alone
    Given that their sum = 105 = 7n or n = 15 and then 7 consecutive integers are 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 So, II alone is sufficient.
