20 questions in the pattern of MAH MBA CET, NMAT and SNAP. Each question is marked with the exams it suits. Answer it, then open the step-by-step solution.
The question is followed by two statements. Decide whether the data in the statements are sufficient to answer it.
What is A's present age?
I. The ratio of the present ages of A and B is 11 : 20.
II. A is older than C.
Statement I alone is not enough: it relates A's age to B's, and B's age is not known.
Statement II does not help find the value.
So: the two statements together are not sufficient.
The question is followed by two statements. Decide whether the data in the statements are sufficient to answer it.
What is the cost price of the article?
I. The marked price was Rs. 1125.
II. The profit on the article was 50%.
Statement I does not help find the value.
Statement II alone is not enough: the cost price needs both the selling price and the profit %.
So: the two statements together are not sufficient.

The question is followed by two statements. Decide whether the data in the statements are sufficient to answer it.
What is the cost price of the article?
I. The profit on the article was 25%.
II. The article was sold for Rs. 750.
Statement I alone is not enough: the cost price needs both the selling price and the profit %.
Statement II alone is not enough: the cost price needs both the selling price and the profit %.
Together: CP = 750 × 100/125 = Rs. 600.
So: both statements together are sufficient, but neither alone is.
The question is followed by two statements. Decide whether the data in the statements are sufficient to answer it.
What is the cost price of the article?
I. The profit on the article was 10%.
II. The article was sold for Rs. 275 at a profit of 10%.
Statement I alone is not enough: the cost price needs both the selling price and the profit %.
Statement II alone gives the answer: CP = 275 × 100/110 = Rs. 250.
So: statement II alone is sufficient, but statement I alone is not.

What is the larger of two numbers?
I. The product of the numbers is even.
II. The two numbers are 7 apart and the smaller one is 19.

So: statement II alone is sufficient, but statement I alone is not.
The question is followed by two statements. Decide whether the data in the statements are sufficient to answer it.
What is the larger of two numbers?
I. The sum of the two numbers is 23.
II. The difference between the two numbers is 7.
Statement I alone is not enough: one equation cannot fix two unknown numbers.
Statement II alone is not enough: one equation cannot fix two unknown numbers.
Together: larger = (23 + 7)/2 = 15.
So: both statements together are sufficient, but neither alone is.

I. The car covers 100 km at a steady 50 km/h.
II. The car has a 40-litre fuel tank.
Statement I alone gives the answer: time = 100/50 = 2 hours.
Statement II does not help find the value.
So: statement I alone is sufficient, but statement II alone is not.
The question is followed by two statements. Decide whether the data in the statements are sufficient to answer it.
In how many days can A alone finish the work?
I. A and B together finish the work in 6 days.
II. The work is to paint a building.
Statement I alone is not enough: A's rate cannot be separated from B's with this alone.
Statement II does not help find the value.
So: the two statements together are not sufficient.

What is the sum of money (principal) deposited?
I. The simple interest earned in 2 years is Rs. 3500.
II. The rate of simple interest is 10% per annum.
Statement I alone is not enough: the principal needs the interest, the rate and the time.
Statement II alone is not enough: the principal needs the interest, the rate and the time.
Together: P = 3500 × 100/(10 × 2) = Rs. 17500.
So: both statements together are sufficient, but neither alone is.
The question is followed by two statements. Decide whether the data in the statements are sufficient to answer it.
What is A's present age?
I. In 6 years, A will be 46 years old.
II. Five years ago, A was 35 years old.
Statement I alone gives the answer: A is 40 now.
Statement II alone gives the answer: A is 40 now.
So: each statement alone is sufficient.
The question is followed by two statements. Decide whether the data in the statements are sufficient to answer it.
What is the larger of two numbers?
I. The difference between the two numbers is 3.
II. The two numbers are 3 apart and the smaller one is 35.
Statement I alone is not enough: one equation cannot fix two unknown numbers.
Statement II alone gives the answer: the larger number is 35 + 3 = 38.
So: statement II alone is sufficient, but statement I alone is not.
