Directions (1-5): Each question below is followed by two statements A and B. You are to determine whether the data given in the statement is sufficient for answering the question. You should use the data and your knowledge of Mathematics to choose the best possible answer. 
Give answer (a) if the statement A alone is sufficient to answer the question, but the statement B alone is not sufficient. 
Give answer (b) if the statement B alone is sufficient to answer the question, but the statement A alone is not sufficient. 
Give answer (c) if both statements A and B together are needed to answer the question. 
Give answer (d) if either the statements A alone or statement B alone is sufficient to answer the question 
Give answer (e) if you cannot get the answer from the statements A and B together, but need even more data.

(a) I and II only 
(b) II and either I or III only 
(c) I and III only

(e) None of these 

Q8. What is the speed of the train?

(a) I and II only 
(b) I and III only 
(c) II and III only 
(d) Any two of the three 
(e) None of these 

Q9. What is the population of State ‘A’?
I. After increasing the population of State A by 15% it becomes 1.61 lakhs 
II. Ratio of population of State A to that of State B is 7 : 8 respectively
III. Population of State B is 1.6 lakhs 
(a) I only 
(b) II and III only 
(c) I and II only 
(d) Either only I or II and III 
(e) All I, II and III 

Q10. How many workers are required for completing the construction work in 10 days?
I. 20% of the work can be completed by 8 workers in 8 days 
II. 20 workers can complete the work in 16 days
III. One eighth of the work can be completed by 8 workers in 5 days 
(a) I and II only 
(b) II and III only 
(c) I only 
(d) III only 
(e) Any one of three

Directions (11-15): In the following questions two equations numbered I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations and–
Give answer (a) if x>y 
Give answer (b) if x≥y
Give answer (c) if x<y
Give answer (d) if x≤y
Give answer (e) if x = y or the relationship cannot be established. 


Solution:

S1. Ans.(d)
Sol.
From statement A
∠ABC = 180 – (∠BAC + ∠ACB)
= 180 – (90+ 35) = 55°
From statement B, ∠ABC = 55°

S2. Ans.(c)
Sol.
A. x-z=4 or z-x=4
B. y/3=14⇒y=42
So, no. are 40, 42, 44
So, both statements together are required to answer the question

S3. Ans.(e)
Sol. 
P + Q + R+ S +T +U = 6 × 35000 = 210000
A. Q +S = 54000
B. T + U = 58000
P + R = 210000 – (54000 + 58000)
= 210000 – 112000
=98000
We can not find salary of P from given data


S5. Ans.(b)
Sol.
A. Let no. is x
x ×20%  =x/5
B. 5x/6=x-15
⇒ x=90
So, statement A is insufficient whereas statement B alone is sufficient to answer the question.

S6. Ans.(c)
Sol.
Let area = x m²
Then,
250x + 3500 = 14500
By this equation, we can find x
So all three statements are required

S7. Ans.(d)
Sol.
I. S.P. = 252
Profit = 52
C.P. = 252 – 52 = 200
II. Profit = 80 (when no discount)
So, M.P =200+80=280
III. When discount = 0
Profit = 40% 
Profit =200×40/100=80
So, we can calculate M.P. and consequently discount percentage.
So, statement I with either II or III is necessary to answer the question

So from above equations, we can see statement I & II are sufficient to find out speed of train.

S9. Ans.(d)
Sol.
I. A ×115/100=1.61 lakh
II. A∶B=7∶8
III. B=1.6 lakh
So, we can see, population of A can be find out either only by statement I or statement II & III together.

S10. Ans.(e)
Sol.
I. n×10=8×8×5
II. n×10=20×16
III. n×10=8×5×8
So, from any of the three statements, we can get the answer.

S11. Ans.(e)
Sol.
I. 
x^2-1200=244
x^2=1444
x= ±38
II. y+122=159
y=159-122=37
∴ No relation can be established between x & y
