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 (D) If the data given in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question and (E) If the data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.

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 Answer: E

Statements:
    I. One-fourth of the weight of each pole is 5 kg. II. The total weight of the three poles is 20 kilograms more than the total weight of two poles.

A. One-fourth of the weight of each pole is 5 kg. B. II alone is sufficient while I alone am not sufficient C. Either I or II is sufficient D. Neither I nor II is sufficient E. Both I and II are sufficient Answer: C
Solution: From I, we conclude that weight of each pole = (4x5) kg = 20 kg. So, total weight of 10 poles = (20 x 10) kg = 200 kg. From II, we conclude that: Weight of each pole = (weight of 3 poles) - (weight of 2 poles) = 20 kg. So, total weight of 10 pojes = (20 x 10) kg = 200 kg.
