Each question below is followed by two statements A and B You are to determine whether the data given in the statement is sufficient for answering the question You should use the data and your knowledge of Mathematics to choose between the possible answer
Give answer a)If the statement A alone is sufficient to answer the question but the statement B alone is not sufficient.
Give answer b)If the statement B alone is sufficient to answer the question but the statement A alone is not sufficient
Give answer c)If both statement A and B together are needed to answer the question
Give answer d)If either the statement A alone or statement B alone is sufficient to answer the question
Give answer e)If you cannot get the answer from the statement A and B together but need even more data
The ages of Anand and Sujeet are in the ratio of 6:5 what is the age of anand ?
A.The ages of Anand and Sandeep are in the ratio of 10:7
B.After 5 years the ratio of Anand’s and Sujeet’s ages will be 7:6
From problem statement we get to know that,
(x/y)=(6/5) where x and y are Anand and Sujeet's age respectively.
Statement A introduces a new variable i.e Sandeep's age. However, we don't have data to form two equations to find all the three variables.
Statement B gives data in the form of known variables i.e Anand and Sujeet's age.
Hence, we can evealute the two equations to get both the variables.
Option B is correct
