Let AB = x and BC = y. From statements 1 and 2, we know that PQ = x and QR = y => AC = $\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$ and PR = $\sqrt{y^2 – x^2}$.

If we rule out the case that $x/\sqrt{y^2 – x^2}$ = $y/x$, then we can say that the triangles are not similar.

=> $x^2$ = $y*\sqrt{y^2 – x^2}$. If we let x = 1, then solving the equation gives y = $\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}(1+\sqrt5)}$. So, the case that the triangles are similar is not impossible. Therefore, we cannot answer the question even by using both the statements together.

From statement 1: Let there be n kids in the line. The number of ways of selecting 3 of them such that the selected kids are not next to each other is $^{n-2}C_3 = 10$ => n-2 = 5 => n = 7.

From statement 2: If there are n kids, the number of possible arrangements around the circular table such that one kid always occupies a specific seat is (n-1)! = 120 => n-1 = 5 => n = 6.

The question can be answered by using either statement alone.

From statement 1, we know that the sum of speeds is 12.
From statement 2, the speeds are prime numbers.
Using both the statements, we can conclude that the speeds are 5 and 7, but we cannot determine whether A is 5 and B is 7 or vice-versa.

5a + 3b is odd => either 5a is odd and 3b is even or 5a is even and 3b is odd => either a is odd and b is even or a is even and b is odd. In both the cases, the remainder is 1.

If a*b is odd, both a and b should be odd => the remainder is 0.
The question can be answered by using either statement alone.

Using the first statement alone, the question can’t be solved.

Using the second statement alone, there are multiple cases to consider. For example, the sets 7,9,11,13 and 7,8,12,13 both validate the second statement.

Hence, using both the statements individually, we can’t solve the question.

Using both the statements together, the numbers have to be in AP. So, the numbers should be one of {7,9,11,13}; {4,8,12,16};{1,7,13,19}.

Of this, only the set 7,9,11,13 validate the second statement. Hence, using both the statements together, we can solve the question. So, solution is C.

From statement 1, it can be inferred that a is even, but nothing can be said about b. From statement 2, it can be inferred that both a and b are odd. So, the question can be answered by using statement 2 alone, but not by using statement 1 alone.

From statement 1, we can get the ratios of the salaries of Ajit, Amit and Sharath, but not the absolute values. From statement 2 also, nothing can be said about the absolute values of the salaries.

Using both the statements, we can conclude that each pipe takes 6 hours to fill the tank, so all three of them can together fill the tank in 2 hours.

Let the SP be x and CP be y.
From the question, (11x/10 – y)*3 = 7*(y – 9x/10).
We get, x/y = 25/24. => Profit percentage = (1/24)*100% = 4(1/6)%.
But the absolute value of selling price/cost price cannot be determined.

Using the second statement, the ages are 4,5,6,7 and 8.

Using the first statement, 2nd + 3rd + 4th youngest boys together = 11 years. 3+4+5 = 12 > 11.

Therefore, the 2nd youngest boy should be 2 years old.

Hence, the youngest should be 1 year old and the oldest should be 18 years old.

So, the question can be solved using either of the two statements.

As A,B,C,D and E are in arithmetic progression, C = (A+E)/2
Given that A>|E|, A is positive.
So, if E is positive, C is automatically positive.
If E is negative, A>-E or A+E>0 and hence C is positive.
So, the question can be answered using both the statements together, but not by using any of the two statements alone.

There are three variables and three equations,
X+Y+Z=10; 2X+3Y+4Z=30 and 2Y+5Z-X=20
However, there the third equation is 3*Second Equation – 7*First Equation.
Hence, even after using both the statements, we can’t find the value of X.

Any of the numbers 35,385,455,595,665 and 805 satisfy the two statements. So, even after using both the statements, we can’t find N.

The value of the two digit number ‘MN’ equals 10M+N. If M+N equals 9, the value of the two digit number ‘MN’ equals 9M+9 which is always divisible by 9.

Using statement 2 alone, the value of the two digit number ‘MN’ equals 9M+13-N which is divisible by 9 if N equals 4.

Hence, we can answer the question by using Statement 1 alone and not by using Statement 2 alone.

Using Statement 2 alone, we can conclude that M*N is a perfect square. So, M is of the form, $k^2*N$ for some natural number k.
