Directions:
Each of the questions below consists of a question and two statements numbered (I) and (II) given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. Read both the statements and give answer
Q-1) What is the value of x ?
(I) 2x + 4 =14
(II) x + y = 7
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
We can find the value of x using the statement (I) alone. While statement (II) alone are not sufficient to answer the question.

Q-2) A bag contains coins of one-rupee, 50 -paise and 25–paise denominations. The total amount in the bag is Rs.500 . To find the total number of 50–paise coins, which of the following information is sufficient?
(I) The number of the coin is in the ratio 3 : 4 : 5.
(II) The number of one rupee–coins is one– fourth the total number of coins in the bag.
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(I) ⇒ 3x + 4x (0.50) + 5x (0.25) = 500
⇒ 6.25x = 500 ⇒ x = 80
∴ The total number of 50-paise coins = 4x = 320
But we can't be solved the question using statement (II).
Hence statement (I) alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Q-3) Is $(x^2 – y^2)$ an odd number ?
(I) x and y are integers.
(II) x y + is an odd number.
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
From I, we cannot say that $(x^2 – y^2)$ is odd or even.
Statement (II) ⇒ x + y is odd ⇒ x is even and y is odd or vice versa.
⇒ x - y is odd ⇒ $(x^2 - y^2)$ is odd

Q-4) What is the value of m – n ÷ 37?
(I) m is the largest possible six-digit number and n is the smallest possible six-digit number.
(II) The diffierence between m and n is known.
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(I) ⇒ m = 999999, n = 100000
∴ We can find the value of m – 7 ÷ 37
(II) ⇒ m – n = known, but neither the value of 'm' is known nor the value of 'n' is known. So, we cannot find the values of m – n ÷ 37 .

Q-5) In ΔABC, find r if AB = 5 and q = 40°
(I) BC = 5
(II) r > p
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(I) ⇒ BC = 5 = AB
⇒ p = q = 40°
⇒ r = 180° – (40 + 40)
Hence, r can be determined by using (I) alone.
(II) ⇒ it is not sufficient to answer the question.

Q-6) 3 person were given certain calculations to perform. The calculations were 1 + 1, 1 +1+2, and 1 +2. Their respective answers were 3,3 and 2. How many of them are mathematicians
(I) Mathematicians can never add two numbers correctly, but they add three numbers correctly
(II) Whenever the mathematicians add two numbers there is a mistake of +1 or -1
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
From the first statement it gives that mathematician can never add 2 number correctly, but it is quite possible that apart from mathematician, others can also do the same mistake. The same logic is applied for the second statement as mathematician is given. If it is only mathematician then we can answer with the help of both the statements.

Q-7) N is an integer between 1 and 93. What is the value of N?
(I) N is both the square of an integer and the cube of an integer.
(II) The square root of N is divisible by 8.
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(I) ⇒ N = 64 (∵ only 64 is both the square of an integer and the cube of an integer)
∴ Statement (I) alone is sufficient to answer the question.
(II) ⇒ N = 64. ∴ Statement (II) alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Q-8) Who is paternal uncle of P ?
(I) P is brother of L, who is daughter of Q, who is sister of N, who is brother of S.
(II) M is brother of K, who is husband of L, who is mother of G, who is sister of P
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
From (I) : Q (F) - N (M) - S
(daughter)
P (M) - L (F)
N is maternal uncle of P.
From (II) : (M) M - K (M) - L (F)
daughter (F)
G(F) - P
M is the paternal uncle of P
Hence we can give the answer using either statement alone.

Each of the questions below consists of a question and two statements numbered (I) and (II) given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. Read both the statements and give answer
Q-9) Is g – h > 0?
(I) g > h
(II) $g^2 > h^2$
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(I) ⇒ g – h > 0
∴ (I) is sufficient to answer the question.
(II) ⇒ $g^2$ is greater than $h^2$ , but g may not be greater than h. (For example, g might be –3 and h might be 2). Hence, (II) alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Q-10) Who scored highest among A, B, C, D and E?
(I) B scored more than D, but not as much as C.
(II) E scored more than C, but not more than A.
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(I) ⇒ C > B > D
(II) ⇒ A > E > C
Combining both, we get A > E > C > B > D
Hence both statements together are necessary.
