  • Question
  • Question: How many speeches were delivered in the two days' programme?

    Statements:

    1. 18 speakers were invited to give at least one speech (maximum of two speech), out of which one-sixth of the speakers could not come.
    2. One-third of the speakers gave two speeches each.


  • Options
  • A. I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
  • B. II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
  • C. Either I or II is sufficient
  • D. Neither I nor II is sufficient
  • E. Both I and II are sufficient

  • Correct Answer
  • Both I and II are sufficient 

    Explanation
    From I, we find that number of speakers who attended programme =18-(1/6) of 18 = 15.

    From II, we find that one-third of 15 i.e. 5 speakers gave 2 speeches each, while each of the remaining 10 speakers delivered only one speech.

    So, total number of speeches delivered = (5 x 2 + 10 x 1) = 20.
