Answers :
Directions (1-10) :
1) Answer: E
From statement I and II,
Given,
(x – 4) / 12 + (6/15) + (x – 8) / 20 = 1
(x – 4) / 12 + (x – 8) / 20 = 3/5
(5x – 20 + 3x – 24) / 60 = 3/5
8x – 44 = 36
8x = 80
x = 10
Total time taken to fill the tank = 10 min
Both the statement I and II is sufficient to answer the question.
2) Answer: D
From Statement I,
Area of the rectangle= 160 cm2
So, Statement I alone is not sufficient to the answer the question.
From Statement II,
Area of parallelogram = 192 cm2
So, Statement II alone is not sufficient to the answer the question.
3) Answer: D
From statement I,
Total number of employees = 1500
Number of male to female employees in IT department = 4/5
So, Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
From statement II,
Difference between the number of female employees from IT and Sales = 180
So, Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
4) Answer: C
From statement I,
Length of the train = 60 * 5/18 * 18 = 300 m
So, Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.
From statement II,
Length of the train + 400 = 60 * 5/18 * 36
Length of the train = 200m
So, Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
Either statement I or II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
5) Answer: A
From statement I,
The share of P, Q and R,
= > [3x * 6 + (3x + 5000) * 6] : [5x * 12] : [7x * 9 + (7x – 15000) * 3] = 14 : 20 : 25
= > [18x + 18x + 30000] : [60x] : [63x + 21x – 45000] = 14 : 20 : 25
= > [36x + 30000] : [60x] : [84x – 45000] = 14 : 20 : 25
According to the question,
(36x + 30000) / 60x = (14/20)
36x + 30000 = 42x
6x = 30000
x = 5000
The initial investment of Q = 5x = Rs. 25000
Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.
From statement II,
The share of P, Q and R,
= > [3x * 8 + (3x + 5000) * 4] : [5x * 8 + (5x – 10000) * 4] : [7x * 12]
= > [24x + 12x + 20000] : [40x + 20x – 40000] : [84x]
= > [36x + 20000] : [60x – 40000] : [84x]
We can’t find the initial investment. Because they are not given the ratio of profit.
Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
6) Answer: D
From statement I,
Distance = x
Distance travelled by bus = 60/100 * x = 3x/5
Distance travelled by car = 40/100 * x = 2x/5
Speed of bus = y
Speed of car = z
(3x/5/y) + (2x/5)/z = 12
3x/5y + 2x/5z = 12
So, Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
From statement II,
Distance = x
Distance travelled by bus = 20/100 * x = x/5
Distance travelled by car = 80/100 * x = 4x/5
Speed of bus = y
Speed of car = z
(x/5)/y + (4x/5)/z = 12 + 4 = 16
So, Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
7) Answer: D
From statement I,
Abi/Divya = 5/4
(Divya + 4)/(Esai + 4) = 5/3
Esai – Deepak = 8
So, Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
From statement II,
Bharu – Esai = 10
So, Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
8) Answer: C
From statement I,
Cost price of TV = 25000 * (100/125) = Rs. 20000
Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.
From statement II,
25000 * (90/100) = (80/100) * CP
CP = 25000 * (90/80) = Rs. 28125
Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
9) Answer: E
From statement I:
Number of yellow balls is twice the number of green balls.
From statement II:
Probability of drawing one green ball from the bag is 1/6.
From statement I and II:
Red = 4
Blue = 5
Let, green = n
Yellow = 2n
Total number of balls = 4 + 5 + n + 2n = 9 + 3n
n/(9 + 3n) = 1/6
=> 6n = 9 + 3n
=> 6n – 3n = 9
=> 3n = 9
=> n = 3
Total number of balls = 9 + 3 x 3 = 18
Hence, data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
10) Answer: C
From statement I,
Let the principle be x,
Amount = 6x
S.I = 6x – x = 5x
S.I = Pnr / 100
5x = (x * 20 * r) / 100
r = 500 / 20 = 25 %
Only statement I is sufficient to answer the question.
From statement II,
The difference between the simple interest and compound interest for 2 years is,
Diff = Sum * (r / 100)2
3125 = 50000 * (r / 100)2
3125 = 50000 * (r2 / 10000)
r2 = 3125 / 5 = 625
r = 25 %
Only statement II is sufficient to answer the question.
