In 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

(A) If the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question

(B) If the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question

(C) If the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question

(E) If the data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.

Question 41
Questions : How much money do Vivek and Suman have together ?
Statements :

I.  Suman has 20 rupees less than what Tarun has .
II. Vivek has 30 rupees more than what Tarun has .

A
I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient.
B
II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient.
C
Either I or II is sufficient.
D
Neither I nor II is sufficient.
E
Both I and II are sufficient.
Correct Answer: Option D

From I, we have : S = T - 20.

From II, we have : V = T + 30.

Thus, from both I and II, we have : V + S = ( T + 30 ) + ( T - 20 ) = ( 2 T + 10 ).

So, to get the required amount, we need to know the amount that Tarun has.

Question 42
Questions : On which day of the week did Hitesh visit the zoo ?
Statements : 

I.  Hitesh did not visit zoo either on Tuesday or on Thursday.
II. Hitesh visited zoo two days before his mother reached his house which was day after Monday.

A
I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient.
B
II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient.
C
Either I or Ii is sufficient .
D
Neither I nor II is sufficient .
E
Both I and II are sufficient.
Correct Answer: Option B

According to I, Hitesh visited the zoo on any of the week days except Tuesday and Thursday.

According to II, Hitesh's mother reached his house day after Monday i. e. on Tuesday .

Thus, Hitesh visited visied zoo two days before Tuesday i. e. on sunday.

Question 43
Questions : How many employees of Bank Z opted for VRS ?
Statements : 

I.  18 % of the 950 officer cadre employees and 6 % of the 1100 other cadre employees opted for VRS..
II. 28 % of the employees in the age-group of 51 to 56 and 17 % of the employees in all other age- group opted for VRS.

A
I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient.
B
II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient.
C
Either I or II is sufficient.
D
Neither I nor II is sufficient.
E
Both I and II are sufficient.
Correct Answer: Option A

From I, we have :

Number of employees who opted for VRS :

= 18 % of 950 + 6 % of 1100

= 171 + 66 = 237.

From II, we cannot get the required answer until and unless the number of employees in age- group 51 to56 and other age-group is known.

Question 44
Questions : How is T related to K ?
Statements :

I.  R's sister J has married T's brother L, who is the only son of his parents.
II. K is the only daughter of L and J.

A
I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient.
B
II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient.
C
Either I or II is sufficient.
D
Neither I nor II is sufficient.
E
Both I and II are Sufficient.
Correct Answer: Option E

From I, we know that L is T's brother and J's husband . since L is the only son of his parents, T is L's sister.

From II, we know that K is L's daughter.

Thus, from I and II, we conclude that T is the sister of K's father i. e. T is K's aunt.

Question 45
Questions : What does 'ta' mean in a code language ?
Statements :

I.  'Pa ta ja' means 'over and above' in that code language.
II. 'ho ka pa' means 'come over here' in that code language.

A
I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient.
B
II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient.
C
Either I or II is sufficient.
D
Neither I nor II is sufficient.
E
Both I and II are sufficient.
Correct Answer: Option D

Clearly to find the code for 'ta' we need to have either only 'ta' or both 'pa' and 'ja' common in I and II. However, none of these conditions is fulfilled. So, the data given in both I and II is also not sufficient to answer the given questions.

Question 46
Questions : In a certain code , 'nop al ed' means 'They like flowers'. Which code word means 'flowers' ?
Statements :

I.  'id nim nop' means "They are innocent'.
II. 'gob ots al' means 'We like roses'.

A
I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient.
B
II alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient.
C
Either I and II is sufficient.
D
Neither I nor II is sufficient.
E
Both I and II are sufficient.
Correct Answer: Option E

In the given statement and I, the common word is 'They' and the common code word is 'nop'. So, 'nop' is the code for 'They'.

In the given statement and II, the common word is 'like' and the common code word is 'al'. So, 'al' is the code for 'like'.

Thus, in the given statement, 'ed' is the code for 'flowers'.

Question 47
Questions : What is Gangan's age ?
Statements : 

I.  Gagan, Vimal and Kunal are all of the same age.
II. Total age of Vimal, Kunal and Anil is 32 years  and Anil is as old as Vimal and Kunal together.

A
I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient.
B
II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient.
C
Either I or II is sufficient .
D
Neither I nor II is sufficient .
E
Both I and II are sufficient.
Correct Answer: Option E

As given in I and II, we have : G = V = K, V + K +A = 32 and A = V + K.

Putting V + K = A in V + K +A = 32, we have : 2A = 32 or A = 16.

Thus, V + K = 16 and V = K. So, V = K = 8. Thus, G = 8.

Question 48
Questions : On a T. V channel, four serials A, B, C and D were  screened, one on each day, on four consecutive days but not necessarily in that order. On which day was the serials C screened.
Statements : 

I.  The first serial was screened on 23rd, Tuesday and was followed by serial D.
II. Serial A was not screened on 25th and one serial was screened between serial A and B.

A
I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient.
B
II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient.
C
Either I or II is sufficient.
D
Neither I nor II is sufficient.
E
Both I and II are sufficient.
Correct Answer: Option E

From I, we know that the serial were screened on 23rd, 24th, 25th and 26th.

Clearly, D was screened second i. e. on 24th, Wednesday.

From II, we know that one serial was screened between A and B. So, A and B were screened first and third, i. e. on 23rd and 25th. But, A was not screened on 25th.

So, A was screened on 23rd and B on 25th. Thus, C was screened on 26th, Friday.

Question 49
Questions : Who among P, Q, T, V and M is exactly in the middle when they are arranged in ascending order of their heights ?
Statements :

I.  V is taller than Q but shorter than M.
II. T is taller than Q and M  but shorter than P.

A
I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient.
B
II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient.
C
Either I or II is sufficient.
D
Neither I nor II is sufficient.
E
Both I and II are sufficient.
Correct Answer: Option E

From I, we have : M > V > Q.

From II. we have : T > Q , T > M, P > T.

Combining the above two, we have : P > T > M > V > Q i. e. Q < V < M < T < P.

Clearly, M is in the middle.

Question 50
Questions : Among M, N, D, P and K, who earns more than only the least earner among them ?
Statements : 

I.  N earns more than M and P but less than only D.
II. M earns more than P who earns less than K.

A
I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient.
B
II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient.
C
Either I or II is sufficient.
D
Neither I nor II is sufficient.
E
Both I and II are sufficient.
Correct Answer: Option D

From I, we have : N > M, N > P, D > N. Thus, we have : D > N > M > P or D > N > P > M.

But, from II, M earns more than P i. e. D > N > M > P.Also, since P earns less than K and N earns less than only D, so we have : D > N > K M > P or D > N > M >K > P.

Hence either K or M earns more than only the least earner i. e. P.
