Solutions

S1. Ans.(c)
Sol. Statement I, D > A and D > C but there is no information about other students. So, statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question. 
Statement II, E > B > D, again there is no information about other students. So, statement II alone is also not sufficient to answer the question. 
Combining the two statements,
E > B > D > A and C, so E got the maximum marks.

S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. Let the cost price of a toy be Rs. x
So, the list price of a toy be Rs. 1.2x
Statement I.
List price after the reduction = 1.2x – 10% of 1.2x
= Rs. 1.08x
Now, 1.08x – x = 10
⇒ x = 10/0.08 = 125
So, statements I alone is sufficient to answer the question, statement II will not give any solid information. So, statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

S3. Ans.(d)
Sol. From statement I,
a^2-4a + 4 = 0
⇒ (a-2)^2 = 0
⇒ a = 2
Nothing can be said about ‘b’.
From statement II,
b^2-6b + 9 = 19
⇒ b^2-6b-7 = 0
⇒ b = −1 or 7
Nothing can be said about ‘a’.
Combining the two statements will not give any unique answer.

S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. Let the two-digit number = xy
Statement I, x + y = 6. This is a single equation with two variables. So, statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
Statement II, x – y = 2 or y – x = 2. This is again single equation with two variables. So, statement II is also not sufficient to answer the question.
On combining the two statements,
x = 4, y = 2 or x = 2, y = 4
The two-digit number can be 42 or 24.
Therefore, combing the two statement will not give any unique answer.

S5. Ans.(c)
Sol. From statement I, we get principal and from statement II, we get amount and time.
Hence, from I and II, we can find out the rate of SI.

S6. Ans.(c)
Sol. Let the length of the train be x.
Then, speed = x/5 m/s  …(i)
From statement I, speed = (x + 150)/20 m/s  …(ii)
From statement II, speed = 36 km/h
= 36 × 5/18 = 10 m/s
Now putting the value of speed in either of the equation (i) and (ii) we can calculate the length of train 
∴ speed = x/5
10 ms = x/5 
⇒ x = 50 m

S7. Ans.(b)
Sol. Let the number of boys be x and number of girls be y.
Statement I is insufficient to answer as the information required to get the answer is not available.
From statement II,
y = 75/100x
⇒ y = 0.75x
⇒x/y=1/0.75=4/3

S8. Ans.(e)
Sol. By both the statements individually we can find out the CP & SP and profit.

S9. Ans.(b)
Sol. From statement I, AC = BD
From statement II, ÐBAD + Ð BCD = 180°
Statement II satisfies the conditions of the cyclic quadrilateral.

S10. Ans.(c)
Sol. From statement I, ÐA = 2ÐB
ÐA + ÐB + ÐC = 180°
⇒ 2ÐB + ÐB + ÐC = 180°
From statement II, ÐB =  ÐC
∴ ÐC = ÐB
⇒ 2ÐB + ÐB + ÐB = 180°
⇒ ÐB = 40°
⇒ ÐA = 80° and ÐC = 60°

S11. Ans.(a)
Sol. From statement I:
∵ Perimeter of square = 32 cm
∴ Length of side = 32/4 = 8 cm
⇒ Diameter of each circle
=(Length of side of square)/2=8/2=4 cm
So, radius of circle = 2 cm

And area of the circle = 4πr^2 = 4𝜋 × 4 = 16𝜋
From statement II, does not give any solid information.

S12. Ans.(d)
Sol. Both the statements are not sufficient to answer.
Additional data is required.

S13. Ans.(b)
Sol. Form statement II, If a + c is odd then one of a and c must be even because as we know, addition to two add numbers will always give an even number while addition of one even and one odd number is an odd number. So, if one of a and c is even then the product of abc is even.

S14. Ans.(c)
Sol.

From I and II, y = 120° and z = 87°
⇒ x = 180° − 120° + 87°
x = 147°

S15. Ans.(a)
Sol. From statement I, Let number obtained when x is divided by 5 be a.
Then, x = 5a
When, a is an odd number.
We know that, multiplication of two odd number is always odd number.
So, x is an odd number.
From statement II, If any of x or y is an odd number and other is even, then the result will be an odd number.
∴ (x + y) may or may not be an odd number.
So, be statement II, we cannot say that x is an odd number.
