Direction: Each question below is followed by two Statements I and II...
Question: What is the age of P?
Statement I: The ages of P and N are in the ratio of 3:1.
Statement II: After 7 years, the ratio of ages of P and A will be 4:3.
Answer:
To find the age of P, we need to know the exact age of either P or G, as the ratio of their ages is given. However, neither statement I nor statement II provides us with the exact age of either P or G. Hence, we cannot determine the age of P from the given statements.
Explanation:
We can break down the given statements and analyze them individually.
Statement I: The ages of P and N are in the ratio of 3:1.
This statement gives us the ratio of ages of P and N but does not provide any information about the age of P or N. Hence, we cannot determine the age of P from this statement alone.
Statement II: After 7 years, the ratio of ages of P and A will be 4:3.
This statement gives us the ratio of ages of P and A after 7 years. However, we do not know the current age of A, and hence we cannot determine the current age of P from this statement alone.
Both statements:
Together, both statements do not provide us with enough information to determine the age of P. Although statement I gives us the ratio of P and N's ages, we still do not know the current age of either P or N. Similarly, although statement II gives us the ratio of P and A's ages after 7 years, we do not know the current age of A or P.
Conclusion:
Thus, we cannot determine the age of P from the given statements alone, and we need more information to do so. Hence, the correct answer is option E.
Direction: Each question below is followed by two Statements I and II...
Age of P can not be found as in the given question, ratio of ages of the P and G is given, while in Statements I and II, the ratio ot ages of P and N and P and A, respectively are given. When we make three equations in two variables using given three ratios, no two variables are same in any of the two equations.
