Detailed Solutions

1. From both the statements, we obtain the following sequence:

14th 15th 16th 17th

Tuesday Wednesday Thrusday Friday

A D B C

Thus, both I and II are required. Ans.(4)


2. From I we have, P > M, P > K, A > P.
From II we have, M > K, P > M, A > P.
Combining the above two, we have: A > P > M > K. Thus, Akash is the heaviest.
So, both the statements are required. Ans.(4)
3. Statement I is merely an interpretation of the information contained in the question. However,
Vipin's salary can be determined from statement II as follows:
Let Vipin's and Javed's salaries be 4x and ax respectively.
Then, 3x = 4500 or x = 1500.
∴ Vipin's salary = 4x = Rs. 6000.
Thus, II alone is sufficient. Ans.(2)
4. From statement II, we conclude that Sonali left her home 45 minutes before 10.15 a.m. i.e. 9.30
a.m.
Thus, only II is needed. Ans.(2)
5. From both I and II together, we can conclude that A and B are the children of D, but the sex of A
and the third child of D is not known. So, both the statements together are also not sufficient to
answer the question. Ans.(3)
6. Clearly, we have the order: A, B, E.
From I, we have the order: D, A, B, E.
From II, we get the complete sequence as D, A, B, E, C. Clearly, B is in the middle.
So, both I and II are required. Ans.(4)

FG 1500 IJ i.e. 500 boxes were sold on Sunday..


7. From II, we can conclude that
H 3 K
From I, we find that number of boxes sold on Monday 500 + 10% of 500 = 550. Ans.(4)
8. From both the given statements, we find that:
Praveen's salary = 115% of (90% of Rs. 2500) = Rs 2587.50.
So, both I and II are required. Ans.(4)

9.
FG
From I and II, we find that Robert read 300 ×
2IJ
i.e. 200 pages before Sunday and the last 40
H 3 K
pages on Monday. This means that he read [300 – (200 + 40)] i.e. 60 pages on Sunday. Ans.(4)
10. The present price of the mixer can be calculated from statement II as follows: Let the earlier price
be Rs x.
Then, 10% of x = 220 or x = 2200.
∴ Present price = Rs. (2200 + 220) = Rs 2420. So, only II is needed. Ans.(2)
