Data Sufficiency section 2 MCQ Practice Questions Answers Test with Solutions & More Shortcuts

Directions:

Each of the questions below consists of a question and two statements numbered (1) and (2) 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.

Question : 6

What will be the cost of the second necklace?
(1) The cost of the first necklace is $1/5$ more than the second and the cost of the third necklace is $2/5$ more than the second. The total cost of all the three necklaces is Rs.120000.
(2) The cost of the first necklace is $2/5$ more than the second. The cost of the third necklace is the least and total cost of all the three necklaces is Rs. 1,20,000.

a) BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement alone is sufficient.

b) Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient

c) Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.

d) Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.

Answer: (c)

(1) ⇒ Ratio of the costs of first, second and third necklace is 6 : 5 : 7 and total cost is given. Hence the price of second necklace can be calculated.

(2) ⇒ $N_1 = N_2 + 2/5 , N_3$ is least

and $N_1 + N_2 + N_3$ = 120000

Since we don't know N3 . Therefore statement (2) is not sufficient to answer the question.

Question : 7

Towards which direction is C from Q ?
(1) C and Q are opposite to each other. L is equidistant from C and Q.
(2) L is neither towards north-east nor towards southwest of C and Q respectively.

a) BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement alone is sufficient.

b) Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient

c) Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.

d) Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.

Answer: (d)

Information given in both the statements does not lead to specific direction. Hence, even both (1) and (2) together are not sufficient.

Question : 8

What is the cost of flooring a room ?
(1) The length and breadth of the room is 9 m and 6 m respectively.
(2) The cost of the tiles is Rs.6 per $cm^2$ .

a) BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement alone is sufficient.

b) Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient

c) Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.

d) Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.

Answer: (a)

∵ cost = Area of room × Rate per square area

and Area = length × breadth

∴ Both statements together are necessary to answer the question.

Question : 9

A, B, C, D and F are seated around a circular table facing at the centre. Who is on the immediate right of B ?
(1) D is between A and F.
(2) C is between B and F.

a) BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement alone is sufficient.

b) Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient

∴ Either A or C is on the immediate right of B.

∴ Both statements together are not sufficient to answer the question.

Question : 10

How much was the loss?
(1) The cost is Rs.300.
(2) The loss is 25 per cent of the selling price.

a) BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement alone is sufficient.

b) Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient

c) Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.

d) Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.

Answer: (a)

Loss = C.P. – S.P.

(1) ⇒ C.P. is given

(2) ⇒ Loss = 25% of S.P. = $1/4$ S.P.

Hence, 'Loss' can be calculated using both the statements together.
