In a general body election, 3 candidates, p, q and r were contesting for a membership off the board. How many votes did each receive? I. p received 17 votes more than q and 103 votes more than r. II. Total votes cast were 1703.

Correct Answer: if both statement I and II together are necessary to answer the question.

Explanation:

If we look at Statement I
i = p - 17 and r = p - 103
Hence, we cannot ind how many each received so this statement is not sufficient enough.
Now by considering Statement II alone.
p + i + r = 170
Hence, we cannot find how many each received. so, this statement is not sufficient enough.
Using I sand II together, we get the value of p and the value of q and r.
