Try yourself:Directions: The question given below is followed by three statements numbered I, II and III. Read all the statements carefully and decide which of them is/are sufficient to answer the given question. Choose the correct alternative accordingly.
A has some blue and red balls with him in the ratio of 3 : 4.
Q. How many red balls does A have?
I. If the red balls had been twice their actual number, the ratio would have been 3 : 8.
II. If A gets 5 more red and blue balls each, the ratio of blue to red balls will become 4 : 5.
III. If A gets 3 more blue balls, then the ratio of blue to red balls will become 9 : 10.
Explanation
Let the numbers of blue and red balls be 3x and 4x, respectively.
As per statement I:
If the red balls had been twice their actual number, the ratio would have been 3 : 8, which is clear from the question itself.
As per statement II:
On solving, we can find x and hence, the number of red balls.
As per statement III:
On solving, we can find x and hence, the number of red balls.

Try yourself:Directions: The question given below is followed by three statements numbered I, II and III. Read all the statements carefully and decide which of them is/are sufficient to answer the given question. Choose the correct alternative accordingly.
Q. What is the probability of picking 1 red and 1 white ball from a bag containing balls of three colours without replacement?
I. The bag contains red, white and blue balls in the ratio 3 : 5 : 7.
II. The bag contains 75 balls.
III. The number of red balls in the bag is 40% less than number of white balls.
Explanation
As per statement I, it is clear that the bag contains a total of 15x balls containing 3x red balls, 5x white balls and 7x blue balls, where x is not given.
As per statement II, the bag contains 75 balls.
As per statement III, the number of red balls is 0.6 times the number of white balls.
Using statement I and II,
15x = 75
x = 5
Number of red balls = 15
Number of white balls = 25
Number of red balls = 35
Probability of picking 1 red and 1 white ball = =
Using statement I and III, we didn't find the number of balls of different colors.
Using statement II and III, we didn't find the number of balls of different colors.
So, option 4 is correct.

Try yourself:Directions: The question given below is followed by three statements numbered I, II and III. Read all the statements carefully and decide which of them is/are sufficient to answer the given question. Choose the correct alternative accordingly.
Q. What is the value of x + 2y?
I. If both x and y are decreased by 50%, the value of x + y will be decreased by 30.
II. y is 50% more than x.
III. x + 3y = 132
Explanation
As per statement I, 50% of x + y is equal to 30.
i.e. x + y = 60
So, we cannot find the value of x + 2y.
Hence, statement I alone is not sufficient.
As per statement II, y = 1.5x
But without finding any one value out of x and y, we cannot find the other value; so statement II alone is also not sufficient.
As per statement III, x + 3y = 132
But we cannot find the value of x + 2y without knowing the value of y.
So, statement III alone is also not sufficient.
To find the value of x + 2y, we need to find the values of x and y; which we can find by using any two of the given three statements.
So, option 4 is correct.

Try yourself:Directions: The question given below is followed by three statements numbered I, II and III. Read all the statements carefully and decide which of them is/are sufficient to answer the given question. Choose the correct alternative accordingly.
Q. How many students got more than 80% marks in the exam?
I. 5000 students appeared for the exam.
II. Of the students who appeared, 34% secured less than 80% marks in the exam.
III. The number of students who got more than 80% marks in the exam is double the number of students who got 80% marks in the exam.
Explanation
It is clear from statement I that 5000 students appeared for the exam, but no information is given as to how many students got more than 80% marks; so statement I alone is not sufficient.
It is clear from statement II that out of the students who appeared, 34% secured less than 80% marks in the exam, but still no information is given as to how many students got more than 80% marks; so statement II alone is not sufficient.
As per statement III, the number of students who got more than 80% marks in the exam is double the number of students who got 80% marks in the exam. So, using statements II and III, we can conclude that 44% students got more than 80% marks in the exam; but by using all three statements, we can conclude that 2200 students got more than 80% marks in the exam. So, option 3 is correct.

Try yourself:Directions: The following question is accompanied by statements A, B and C. You have to determine the statement(s) which is/are sufficient to answer the question.
Q. Is k5 + l4 + m3 + n2 > 0?
A. l + n = 0
B. l + m + n > 0
C. m + k > 0
Explanation
We need to check if k5 + l4 + m3 + n2 > 0 or not.
Numbers having even powers are always positive.
So, l4 and n2 will always be positive, irrespective of values of l and n.
Now, the whole term being negative or positive depends on whether k5 + m3 is positive or negative and the values of m and k.
Since k is the term with the highest power, it will dominate the expression k5 + l4 + m3 + n2 and for highly negative value, the expression will be always negative even if l, m and n are positive.
Now, even if we use statements A, B and C, m is greater than (-k).
For m = 5, k = -3, l = 2 and n = -2
The value k5 + l4 + m3 + n2 < 0
So, even all the three statements together are not sufficient.

Try yourself:Directions: The following question is accompanied by statements A, B and C. You have to determine which statement(s) is/are sufficient to answer the question.
Q. If product of two positive numbers m and n is 80, then what are the values of m and n, respectively?
A. m is 25% more than n.
B. n + 2m : n + m = 14 : 9
C. m + n = 18
Explanation
Statement A alone is sufficient as product of m and n is already given in question.
Using statement A, we find m = 1.25n, through which we can find individual values of m and n.
Similarly, we can find the values of m and n, respectively from statement B also.
By using statement C alone, we can form a quadratic equation as both sum and product of m and n is given, but cannot find their respective values as we do not know whether m is greater than n or vice versa.

Q. What is the average number of balls in boxes A, B and C?
A. If 5 balls are drawn each from boxes A, B and C, then the average number of balls in the three boxes is 15.
B. If 25 balls are added to each of the boxes A, B and C, the average number of balls in the three boxes becomes 35.
C. Box A has 25 balls, which has 15 balls more than the average number of balls of boxes B and C.
Explanation
Using statement A, we can find the average number of balls in boxes A, B and C, respectively as we are given the value of average when 5 balls were drawn from each of the boxes. So, by simply adding five to that value, we can find the average number of balls in boxes A, B and C. Similarly, we can also find the average number of balls in boxes A, B and C using statement B. Using statement C, we can find the number of balls in box A and by using relationship between number of balls in box A and total number of balls in boxes B and C, we can find the total number of balls in three boxes and hence, their average.
