1. Find the distance traveled by Rajdhani express in two hours if it travels with its original speed?
Statement I: The train started from the origin station 20.25 hours later than the scheduled time towards its destination which is 750 km away from the origin.
Statement II: To reach the destination station in the scheduled time the loco – piolet of the train increases the speed of the train to 125% of the original speed.
A. The data in statements I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
B. The data in statements II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
C. Either Statement I or Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
D. The data in both the statements I and II is not sufficient to answer the question.
E. The data in both the statements I and II together is necessary to answer the question.
Answer: Option E
Explanation:
From I and II:
Let the original speed of the train is ‘100x’ km/h
Increased speed = 125% of 100x = 125x km/h
According to a question-
⇒ 750 – 750 = 20.25
100x 125x
⇒ x = 2
3
Original speed of the train = 100x
= 100 × 2 = 200 km
3 3
Hence the distance traveled by train in 2 hours
= 2 × 200 = 400 km
3 3
Hence statements I and II together are sufficient.
2. What should be the selling price of washing machine so as to make a profit of 25%?
Statement I: An electronic shop dealer marks washing machine 80% above the cost price and after allowing a discount of 25% he claims a profit of Rs. 3500.
Statement II: A shopkeeper sold the same washing machine for Rs. 15000 on the condition that shopkeeper will pay the transportation cost of Rs 2000 and he gets a profit of 25%.
A. The data in statements I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
B. The data in statements II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
C. Either Statement I or Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
D. The data in both the statements I and II is not sufficient to answer the question.
E. The data in both the statements I and II together is necessary to answer the question.
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
From Statement I: Let the cost price of the working machine be x.
then the marked price of washing machine
= x + 80 × x = 1.8x
100
Selling price = 1.8x × 100 – 25 = 1.35x
100
Now, profit = 1.35x – x
Profit = 0.35 x
but
0.35x = 3500
∴ x = 10,000
So, the cost price of the washing is Rs. 10000. Selling price in order to earn 25% profit
= 125 × 10000 = 12,500
100
Hence, the statement I alone is sufficient
From Statement II:
Let the cost price of the washing machine be x
then,
Cost price after paying transportation = x + 2000
then
⇒ x + 2000 = 100
15000 125
⇒ x + 2000 = 12000
⇒ x = 10000
Cost price is Rs. 10000
Selling price in order to earn 25% profit
= 125 × 10000= Rs. 125000
100
Hence, statement II alone is also sufficient.
Here, Statement I or II alone is sufficient.
3. How many years old will Anuj be p years from now?
Statement I: Ankur is 14 years older than Anuj.
Statement II: The sum of the ages of Ankur and Anuj is p years.
A. The data in statements I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
B. The data in statements II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
C. Either Statement I or Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
D. The data in both the statements I and II is not sufficient to answer the question.
E. The data in both the statements I and II together is necessary to answer the question.
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
From Statement I:
Using the information given in above statement.
Anuj + 14 = Ankur
Here, we have no information about p and the actual age of Anuj.
So, we cannot find the answer.
Hence, the statement I alone is not sufficient.
From Statement II:
Using the information given in the above statement, we can say that
Anuj + ankur = p
Here, we have no information about the present age of Anuj
So, we cannot find the answer.
Both Statement I and II:
From statement I: Anuj + 14 = Ankur
From Statement II: Anuj + Ankur = p
2 Anuj + 14 = p
Here, cannot find the actual age of Anuj and the real value of p.
So, we cannot find the answer.
Hence, Both statement I and II together are not sufficient.
4. If a rope is cut into three pieces of unequal length, what is the length of the shortest of these pieces of rope?
Statement I: The combined length of the longer two pieces of rope is 17 meters.
Statement II: The combined length of the shorter two pieces of rope is 15 meters.
A. The data in statements I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
B. The data in statements II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
C. Either Statement I or Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
D. The data in both the statements I and II is not sufficient to answer the question.
E. The data in both the statements I and II together is necessary to answer the question.
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Let the length of layer piece, middle piece and shorter piece be l, m and s respectively.
From Statement I:
Using the information given in above statement.
l + m = 17
Here, we have no information about the total length of the rope or the length of the shorter piece.
So, we cannot find the answer.
Hence, the statement I alone is not sufficient.
From Statement II:
Using the information given in above statement,
s + m = 19
Here, we have no other information about the length of these pieces.
So, we cannot find the answer.
Hence, statement II alone is not sufficient.
Both Statement I and II:–
From statement I : l + m = 17
From Statement II : s + m = 15
Combining both statements I and II we get
l – s = 2
At this point, we have no information about the total length or the length of any of these pieces of the rop.e
So, we cannot find the answer.
Hence, Both statement I and II together are not sufficient.
5. At present, the age of A is [latex]\frac{1}{3}[/latex][latex]^{rd}[/latex] of the age of B then what are their ages?
Statement I: After 10 years, the ratio of their ages will become 5 : 11.
Statement II: 5 years age, the age of A was 25% of the age of B.
A. The data in statements I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
B. The data in statements II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
C. Either Statement I or Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
D. The data in both the statements I and II is not sufficient to answer the question.
E. The data in both the statements I and II together is necessary to answer the question.
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
From the question, A : B = 1 : 3
Statement I: after 10 years, the ratio will become 5 : 11
Statement II: 5 years ago, the ratio was 1 : 4
Therefore, a statement I or Statement II alone is sufficient to get our answer, and their ages will be 15 years and 45 years respectively
