Data Sufficiency — Gagan’s exact age Statements: I. Gagan, Vimal and Kunal are all of the same age. II. The total age of Vimal, Kunal and Anil is 32 years, and Anil is as old as Vimal and Kunal together. Choose the correct sufficiency option.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Neither I nor II is sufficient

Explanation:


Let ages be: V, K, A (Anil), G (Gagan)


Statement I
G = V = K. No numeric values ⇒ insufficient.


Statement II
V + K + A = 32 and A = V + K ⇒ 2(V + K) = 32 ⇒ V + K = 16, A = 16. Individual V, K unknown ⇒ insufficient.


Together (note)
From I, V = K ⇒ V + K = 16 ⇒ V = K = 8 ⇒ then G = 8. However, neither statement alone is sufficient.


Answer per options
Neither I nor II is sufficient.
