  • Question
  • What is the average height of the class?
    I. Average height of the class decreases by 1 cm i we exclude the tallest person of class whose height is 56 cm.
    II. Average height of the class increase by 1 cm if we exclude the shortest person o the class whose height is 42 cm.


  • Options
  • A. if the data in Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question but the data in Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
  • B. if the data in Statements II alone is sufficient to answer the question but the data in Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
  • C. if the data in Statement I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
  • D. if the data in Statement I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.

  • Correct Answer
  • if the data in Statement I and II together are necessary to answer the question. 

    Explanation

    Let x be the average height of the class and n be the number of students in the class.
    Consider statements I alone
    xn - 56 = (x + 1)(x -1)
    ? x + n = 57 .............(i)
    Hence, the value of x cannot be found. So, I alone is not sufficient.
    Consider statement I alone:
    xn - 42 = (x + 1)(n - 1)
    ? x - n = 41 .............(ii)
    Hence, the value of x cannot be found. So, II alone is not sufficient.
    Both the statements together are suficient as the value of x can be found by solving (i) and (ii)
