Test Level 1: Data Sufficiency - 2 - Question 1

Directions: This problem consists of a question followed by two statements numbered I and II given below it. Read the statements carefully and decide which of them is/are sufficient/necessary to answer the question.
Mark your answer as
a. if the data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question
b. if the data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question
c. if the data in either of the statements alone is sufficient to answer the question
d. if the data in both statements I and II together is not sufficient to answer the question
e. if the data in both statements I and II together is necessary to answer the question

Q. What is the code for 'eat' in the code language in which, 'he eat food everyday' is written as 'go pro rey kol'?

I. In that code language, 'everywhere food and eat' is written as 'pro wer nom kol'.
II. In that code language, 'he runs and walks daily' is written as 'gwt zat rey woc'.

Detailed Solution for Test Level 1: Data Sufficiency - 2 - Question 1

We can figure out the code by observing the common words and symbols.
From the statement I alone, we can see that the common words are 'food' and 'eat' and common codes are 'pro' and 'kol'.
Thus, code for 'eat' can be either 'pro' or 'kol'.
Thus, statement I alone is insufficient.
From the statement II, we see the common word is 'he'. So, 'eat' is not mentioned there.
Thus, statement II alone is not sufficient.
I and II together are insufficient because II has no mention of 'eat'.
Thus, neither I nor II is sufficient to answer the question.

Test Level 1: Data Sufficiency - 2 - Question 2

Directions: This problem consists of a question followed by two statements numbered I and II given below it. Read the statements carefully and decide which of them is/are sufficient/necessary to answer the question.
Mark your answer as
a. if the data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question
b. if the data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question
c. if the data in either of the statements alone is sufficient to answer the question
d. if the data in both statements I and II together is not sufficient to answer the question
e. if the data in both statements I and II together is necessary to answer the question

Q. If 'qw tr yh pl' is the code for 'Let the game begin', then what is the code for 'begin'?

I. 'Begin working right now' is coded as 'pj tr se qa'.
II. 'Work begin tomorrow again' is coded as 'jh mn tr we'.

Detailed Solution for Test Level 1: Data Sufficiency - 2 - Question 2

From I alone, we can decode by matching the common codes and words between two statements.
Between question and statement I, common word is 'begin' and common code is 'tr'.
Thus, code for 'begin' is 'tr'.
Hence, statement I alone is sufficient.
Between question and statement II, common word is 'begin' and common code is 'tr'. Thus, code for 'begin' is 'tr'.
Hence, either statement alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Test Level 1: Data Sufficiency - 2 - Question 3

Directions: This problem consists of a question followed by two statements numbered I and II given below it. Read the statements carefully and decide which of them is/are sufficient/necessary to answer the question.

Q. Amit celebrates his birthday on 2nd October, 2018. How old will Amit be on that day?
I. Amit's 27th birthday was in 2007.
II. On his birthday in 2050, Amit would turn 70 years old.

Detailed Solution for Test Level 1: Data Sufficiency - 2 - Question 3

From I: If Amit celebrated his 27th birthday in 2007, then in 2018 on his birthday, he would turn 27 + 11 = 38 years old.
So, statement I alone is sufficient.
From II: Amit would celebrate his 70th birthday in 2050. The difference of years between 2050 and 2018 = 2050 - 2018 = 32.
This means that in 2018, he would celebrate his (70 - 32 = 38th birthday). 
So, statement II alone is sufficient.
Hence, either of the two statements alone is sufficient for finding the answer.

Test Level 1: Data Sufficiency - 2 - Question 4

Directions: In this problem, a question is given followed by two statements numbered I and II. Read the question and the statements carefully and decide which of the two statements is/are required to answer the question.
Q. There are five friends Ajhar, Bablu, Champu, Dharmesh and Ekam. Among them, who is the tallest?
Statements:
I. Dharmesh is taller than both Ajhar and Champu.
II. Bablu is shorter than Ekam, but taller than Dharmesh.

Detailed Solution for Test Level 1: Data Sufficiency - 2 - Question 4

From I, we have: Dharmesh > Ajhar, Dharmesh > Champu
From II, we have: Ekam > Bablu > Dharmesh
Combining the above two, we get:
Ekam > Bablu > Dharmesh > Ajhar > Champu or Ekam > Bablu > Dharmesh > Champu > Ajhar.
Thus, Ekam is the tallest.

Test Level 1: Data Sufficiency - 2 - Question 5

Directions: In this problem, a question is given followed by three statements numbered I, II and III. Read the statements carefully and decide which of them is/are sufficient/required to answer the question.
Q. What is the monthly salary of Ram?
I. Ram's basic salary is Rs. 500 more than Sita's basic salary.
II. Other allowances drawn by Sita, besides her basic salary, amount to Rs. 5000 per month, which is Rs. 1000 less than Ram's allowances.
III. Sita's basic salary is Rs. 15,000 per month.

Detailed Solution for Test Level 1: Data Sufficiency - 2 - Question 5

From III, Sita's basic salary is Rs. 15,000.
From I, Ram's basic salary is Rs. (15,000 + 500) = Rs. 15,500
From II, Sita's other allowances = Rs. 5000, and Ram's other allowances = Rs. 6000
Therefore, Ram's monthly salary = (15,500 + 6000) = Rs. 21,500

Test Level 1: Data Sufficiency - 2 - Question 6

Directions: The following problem contains a question and statements numbered I, II and III. Read the statements carefully and determine which of them is/are sufficient/required to answer the question.
Q. Persons X, Y and Z are sitting in a row facing the same direction. What is the position of X with respect to Y?
I. X is sitting at an extreme end of the row.
II. Z is sitting to the left of X.
III. Y is sitting in the middle of the row.

Detailed Solution for Test Level 1: Data Sufficiency - 2 - Question 6

(I) says that X sits at the extreme left or the extreme right end of the row.
(II) alone tells us that Z is sitting to the left of X.
(III) alone tells us that Y is sitting in the middle of the row.
(I) and (II) together show that X is sitting at the extreme right end, which means X is to the right of Y, but it is not clear if its immediate to the right of Y or second to the right of Y.
From (II) and (III), we get that X is sitting at the extreme right end and Y sits in the middle of the row. Thus, X is to the immediate right of Y.
Hence, option (4) is correct.

Q. What will be the ratio between the ages of Bhavesh and Tarun after 6 years?
I. The ratio between their present ages is 9 : 8.
II. Four years ago the ratio between their ages was 7 : 6.

Detailed Solution for Test Level 1: Data Sufficiency - 2 - Question 19

From (I): Ratio of the age of Bhavesh to that of Tarun = 9z : 8z
From (II): (9z - 4)/(8z - 4) = 7/6
Solve statement (II).
(9z - 4) × 6 = (8z - 4) × 7
54z - 24 = 56z - 28
z = 2.
From (I): Present ages of Bhavesh and Tarun = 18 years and 16 years
After 6 years, ages of Bhavesh and Tarun = 24 years and 22 years
Hence, ratio of the age of Bhavesh to that of Tarun after 6 years = 24 : 22 = 12 : 11
Hence, both statements are required to solve the problem.
