Q(11 – 15) 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 all the three statements and give answer: –
What is the speed of the train whose length is 210m?
I. The train crosses another train of 300m length running in opposite direction in 10s
II. The train crosses another train running in the same direction at the speed of 60kmph in 30s.
L1 = 210m(Given)
From Statement I, L2 = 300m
L1 + L2 = 210m +300m =510m
S1 + S2 = [D/T] = 510/10 = 51m/s
From Statement II,
S2 = 60kmph = 60*(5/18) = 50/3 m/s
S1 – S2 = 510/30 = 51/3 => S1-50/3 = 51/3
S1 = 101/3 m/s
Thus both the statements are required to answer the question.

A, B, and C together start a business with a total investment of 15000. At the end of the year, the total profit is Rs.3000. What is A’s share in the profit?
I. A’s contribution is 3/2 times of B’s
II. B’s contribution is twice that of C.
III. A’s contribution is thrice that of C.
C = x
From I and II
C = x, B = 2x, A = (3/2 * 2x) => A = 3x
From II and III
C = x, B = 2x, A = 3x
From I and III
C = x, A = 3x, B = (2/3 * 3x) => B = 2x
A:B:C = 3:2:1, A’s share = (3000 * (3/6)) = 1500
Thus any two of the three statements, are sufficient to answer the question.
What is the monthly income of Mr. X?
I. Mr. X spends 85% of his income on various items and remaining amount is saved
II. Monthly savings of Mr. X are 4500
III. Out of the total money spent by Mr.X in a month, one-fifth is spent on food and remaining amount of Rs.20400 on other items.
Let the income of Mr.X = y
From I and II
15% of y = 4500 => y = 30000
From II and III
4/5th of expenditure = 20400 => Expenditure = Rs. 25500, Savings = Rs.4500
Income = 25500 + 4500 = 30000
From I and III
4/5 of 85% of x = 20400
x = 30000
Thus any two of the three statements, are sufficient to answer the question. Ans option – None of the Above

From Statement I and II,
Rahul’s age = x, His father’s age = 2x
x+5/2x+5 = 6/11
x=25 year
What was the profit earned on the CP by Ramesh by selling an article?
I. He got 15% concession on labelled price in buying that article
II. He sold it for Rs.3060
III. He earned a profit of 2% on he labelled price in buying that article.
Labelled price -x
From statement I, CP = 85% of x
From statement II and III, 2 = (3060 – x/ x)*100 x=3000
CP= 85% of 3000 = 2550
Thus All I, II and III together are required.
What will be the share of R in the profit earned by V, R and A together?
I. They together invested an amount of Rs.54000 for a period of 1 year
II. R’s investment was 25% less than V’s and 50% more than A’s.
