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).
The area of a playground is 1600 square metres. What is its perimeter ?
I. It is perfect square playground.
II. It costs Rs. 3200 to put a fence around the playground at the rate of Rs. 20/- per metre.
I : Since, playground is square, let the side = $$x$$ metres
=> Area = $$x^2=1600$$
=> $$x=\sqrt{1600}=40$$ metres
=> Perimeter = $$4\times40=160$$ metres
Thus, I alone is sufficient.
II : It costs Rs. 3200 to put a fence around the playground at the rate of Rs. 20/- per metre.
=> Perimeter = $$\frac{3200}{20}=160$$ metre
Thus, II alone is sufficient.
$$\therefore$$ Either statement alone is sufficient.
