Each of the questions below consists of a statement and/or 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 both the statements and -
Give answer a: if the data in Statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question.
Give answer b: if the data in Statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.
Give answer c: if the data either in Statement I or in Statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
Give answer d: if the data even in both Statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
Give answer e: if the data in both Statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
(Caution : Do not hasten to mark the answer unless you consider both the Statements carefully).
A box contains oranges, bananas and apples. How many apples are there in the box ?
I. Of the hundred fruits in the box, fifty percent constitute oranges and bananas together.
II. Fifty percent of the fruits in the box are apples.
Let number of oranges be $$o$$, apples be $$a$$ and bananas be $$b$$.
I : Total fruits = 100
Number of oranges and bananas = $$o+b=\frac{50}{100}\times100=50$$
=> $$a=100-50=50$$
Thus, I alone is sufficient.
II : We don't know the total fruits, hence II alone is insufficient.
$$\therefore$$ I alone is sufficient.
