Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (C)
In statement (2), it is given that Rishabh is standing at the 75th position from the front end in the same queue. Also, there are exactly 19 people between Rishabh and Rama. Hence, we can say that Rama can be either at 55th or 95th position from the front end of the queue.
From statement (2), we can’t find any relevent information.
If we combine statement (1) and statement (2), we know that only 90 people are standing in the queue. Therefore, we can say that Rama is standing at 55th position from the front end of the queue. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
2) Answer (D)
In statement (1), it is given that Rajesh is standing at the 35th position form the front end of the same row. Also, there are exactly 6 people between Rajesh and Ramesh. Hence, we can say that Ramesh can be either at 28th or 42th position from the front end of the queue.
From statement (2), we can’t find any relevent information.
If we combine statement (1) and statement (2), then we can say that Ramesh is standing either at 44th or 58th position from rear end. We can’t find the absolute position of Ramesh from rear end. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
3) Answer (A)
From the statement 1, we can see that there are 12 white balls in the bag. So the remaining balls should be of red colored balls. Hence, the number of red balls in the bag initially = 8. Hence, the required probability = $\dfrac{8}{20}$ = 2/5.
From the statement 2, we can say that the probability, that this withdrawn ball is red, is greater than 0.5. But we can’t determine exact probability. Hence, this statement alone is not sufficient to answer the given problem. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
4) Answer (C)
Using Pick’s Theorem:
A = I + (B/2) -1
A = Area of the polygon.
B = Number of integral points on edges of the polygon.
I = Number of integral points inside the polygon.
Using the above formula, we can deduce,
I = (2A – B + 2) / 2
Here, A = 160 B = 26. Therefore, I = $\dfrac{320-26+2}{2}$ = 148.
We can find out the number of integral points within the quadrilateral using both the statements together. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
5) Answer (E)
Using the information provided by either of the statements, we can find out the radius of the circle. However, we do not have any information regarding the triangle. The triangle can be equilateral, isosceles, or scalene. Therefore, we cannot determine the area of the square using the given information and hence, option E is the right answer.
6) Answer (C)
We know that all the 5 values are distinct odd integers.
Just by using statement 1, we can infer that the numbers should be 5 consecutive odd integers. Because the average will be less than the highest by 4 only if the numbers are a-4, a-2, a, a+2, a+4.
However, we cannot obtain any absolute value. Therefore, statement 1 is insufficient to answer the question.
Using statement 2, we can obtain the lowest among the 5 values. However, we cannot obtain any relation between the smallest number and the highest number.
Using both the statements together, we can infer that 123 is the smallest integer and the 5 odd integers must be consecutive. Therefore, the largest integer among the five must be 123+8 = 131. We can determine the answer using both the statements together. Therefore, option C is the right answer.
7) Answer (D)
Harry and Sunny have cards numbered from 1 to 10.
Sum of the number of cards picked by them = 1+2+3+…+10 = 55.
Sum of the numbers on the cards picked by Harry is 5 more than that of Sunny.
Let x be the sum of the numbers picked by Sunny.
x+x+5 = 55
x = 25
25 can be written as 10+9+1+2+3 or 9+7+5+1+3 etc. (There are many such combinations). We cannot determine the person who has card number 2.
Statement I alone is insufficient.
Statement II states that one of the 2 persons has exactly 4 even-numbered cards.
The person with 4 even-numbered cards might or might not contain card number 2. Therefore, statement II alone is insufficient.
Combining both the statements, we know that the sum of the numbers on the cards with Harry is 5 more than the sum of the number on the cards with Sunny. Therefore, the sum of the number of cards with Sunny should be 25 and Harry should be 30.
Sum of the 5 even numbers = 2+4+6+8+10 = 30.
Sum of the 5 odd numbers = 1+3+5+7+9 = 25.
By replacing one of the odd numbers with even numbers, we have to make the sums 30 and 25. We cannot replace an odd number with an even number and still get the sum as 25. Therefore, the set with 4 odd numbers must add up to 30 and the set with 4 even numbers must add up to 25. We can interchange 1 with 6 or 3 with 8 or 5 with 10. The card with number 2 will always remain with the person with 4 even cards. The card with number 25 will always remain with Sunny. Therefore, we can determine the answer using both the statements together and hence, option D is the right answer.
8) Answer (E)
From the information given in the question, we only know that Virat Kohli averages 53.55 till the end of 2016 and Rohit averaged 47.54. Strike rate part is irrelevant to the question asked and is just unnecessary information. In order to calculate the number of runs scored by both these players till 2016, we need to know the number of times they have been dismissed till 2016. Since, we do not have any information in this regard, so we cannot say for sure who averages more at the end of 2017. Hence, even by using both the statements together, we cannot answer the given question. Thus, option E is the correct answer.
9) Answer (E)
Using statement 1, we can conclude that A can have 2,3 or 4 marbles and B can have 1,2 or 3 marbles.
Using statement 2, we can conclude that the B and C must contain (4,1) marbles or (2,3) marbles and A and D must be having the remaining set.
Using both the statements, we can conclude that A cannot have 1 marble. But, D can have 1 marble and A can have 4 marbles. The other possibility is B can have 1 marble and C can have 4 marbles. Hence, we cannot determine the person with the highest number of marbles even after using both the statements together. Hence, option E is the right answer.
10) Answer (A)
From I,
2N = 73k + 27
If N leaves a remainder p when divided by 73. 2N will leave a remainder of 2p.
Since 27/2 is 13.5, which is not possible. Let us consider 73 + 27 = 100. 100/2 = 50.
Thus, the remainder when 50 is divided by 73 is 50.
From II,
We cannot infer anything about what the remainder will be when N is divided by 73.
11) Answer (B)
Using statement I, we know that the product of the 5 terms is even.
Even if one of the 5 terms is even, the entire product will be even. Hence, we cannot determine whether b is odd or even.
Using statement 2, we know that the sum of the 5 terms is even.
Let us denote a as b-1, c as b+1, d as b+2 and e as b+3 (Since they are consecutive terms).
a + b + c + d + e = even.
b -1 + b + b + 1 + b + 2 + b +3 = even.
5b + 5 = even.
5 is an odd number. 2 odd numbers on addition yield an even number. Therefore, 5b must be odd.
Therefore, B is definitely an odd number. We can answer the question using statement II alone. Hence, option B is the right answer.
12) Answer (B)
Suppose there are n terms. Frist term is 3, and the common ratio is 4.
From 1st statement we know that $ \frac{3*4^{n-1}}{3*4^{n-5}} = 4^4 = 256 $. Thus we are not getting any information on ‘n’. Hence statement 1 alone is not enough to answer the question.
From statement 2 we know the middle term of series is 3072. So n is definitely odd.
Further $ 3072 = 3*4^5 = 3*4^{6-1}$
So the 6th term is the middle term. Hence the number of terms in the series is 5+ 1+ 5 = 11
Hence statement 2 alone is sufficient to answer the question.
Hence option B is the correct choice.
13) Answer (D)
Let the marks secured by A be a and the marks secured by B be b. Let the marks secured by C be ‘c’.
We know that
a + b = 136
b + c = 156
From statement I, we know that
a + b + c = 210
=> c = 74
Thus, we can find the values of a and b and hence the question can be answered using I alone.
From II
We know that
c = b + 10
Thus, from the given equations we can determine the values of a, b and c. Hence, the question can be answered using II alone as well. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
14) Answer (E)
Given relationship is $(PQ)(RQ) = XXX$
Since, X can take nine values from 1 to 9, thus we have 9 possibilities.
$111 = 3 \times 37$ $666 = 18 \times 37$
$222 = 6 \times 37$ $777 = 21 \times 37$
$333 = 9 \times 37$ $888 = 24 \times 37$
$444 = 12 \times 37$ $999 = 27 \times 37$
$555 = 15 \times 37$
But, out of these 9 cases, only in 999, we get the unit’s digit of the two numbers same. Since it is a unique value,
Thus, we need neither statement I nor II to answer the question.
15) Answer (A)
_tWXH1mA.PNG)
Using the property that, tangents from same point to a circle are equal in lengths.
In above quadrilateral, PA = PM + MN, => $d = a + MN$ ———-Eqn(I)
RC = RN + NM
=> $PS = d + e$
$SR = e + c$
$QR = b + c + MN$
$PQ = a + b$
From statement I :
.PNG)
We can conclude that, $w + x + y + z = w + x + y + z$
=> $(w + z) + (x + y) = (w + x) + (y + z)$
=> $PQ + SR = PS + QR$
Substituting values from above equation, we get :
$\therefore a + b + e + c = d + e + b + c + MN$
Using eqn(I),
=> $a = a + MN + MN$
=> $MN = 0$
Thus, statement I alone is sufficient.
Statement II alone is not sufficient, for we can have more than one value of MN possible.
16) Answer (E)
Statement iii and iv are redundant. Thus, we can cancel out first three options.
From (i) , (ii) , (v), we have :
Let A,B,C be the ages of Jose’s sons in ascending order
and $A + B + C = 13$
and $A + B = 4$
=> $C = 13 – 4 = 9$
Now, from (vi) we get $A = B$
=> $A = B = \frac{4}{2} = 2$
$\therefore$ i, ii, v and vi are required to answer the question.
17) Answer (E)
Median of 11 integers is 15, => In ascending order 6th integer = 15
=> Numbers = 6,8,12,13,14,15,20,22
Statement I : Average of four smallest = 6 + 8 + 12 + 13
= $\frac{39}{4} = 9.75$
It is given that, avg of 4 largest – avg of 4 smallest = 13.25
=> Average of 4 largest = 13.25 + 9.75 = 23
=> Sum of 4 largest numbers = 23 * 4 = 92
So, we can easily allocate other three numbers different minimum values but more than 15 and maximize the remaining one value
Thus, statement I is sufficient.
Statement II : Sum of 11 integers = 11 * 16 = 176
Sum of given 8 integers = 6+8+12+13+14+15+20+22 = 110
Sum of remaining numbers = 176 – 110 = 66
So, we can easily allocate other three numbers different minimum values but more than 15 and maximize the remaining one value
Thus, statement II is sufficient.
$\therefore$ Either statement I or II is sufficient.
18) Answer (B)
Let A,B,C,D,E,F represents Anita, Biplove, Cheryl, Danish, Emily and Feroze respectively.
Statement I : It is not sufficient as nothing is mentioned about D and F.
Statement II : E = F, thus E and F cannot score the lowest.
Also, C scored higher than at least 2 and B scored more than D while A scored the highest.
The only person left with the lowest marks can be D.
Thus, statement II alone is sufficient.
19) Answer (D)
Expression : $A_{n+1}=A_{n}^{2}+1$ ———Eqn(I)
Statement I : $A_{0} = 1$
Putting n = 0 in Eqn (I), => $A_1 = A_0^2 + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2$
Similarly, $A_2 = A_1^2 + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5$ and so on
We can find the values of $A_{900}$ and $A_{1000}$ and also their greatest common divisor.
Thus, statement I alone is sufficient.
Statement II : We have $A_{1} = 2$
In the above manner, we can determine $A_{900}$ and $A_{1000}$ and also their greatest common divisor.
Thus, statement II alone is sufficient.
$\therefore$ Either statement alone is sufficient.
20) Answer (A)
In the figure, $\triangle AQR \sim \triangle APS$
=> $\frac{AQ}{AP} = \frac{QR}{PS} = \frac{AR}{AS} = k$ ——–Eqn(I)
Statement I : PQ = 3 cm , RS = 4 cm , $\angle$ QPS = 60°
In right $\triangle$ PQM
=> $sin 60^{\circ} = \frac{QM}{QP}$
=> $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{QM}{3}$
=> $QM = \frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{2} = RN$
Similarly, $sin (\angle RSN) = \frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{8}$
=> $\angle RSN = sin^{-1} (\frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{8})$
$\therefore$ In $\triangle$ APS
=> $\angle PAS = 180^{\circ} – \angle APS – \angle PSA$
=> $\angle PAS = 120^{\circ} – sin^{-1} (\frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{8})$
Thus, statement I alone is sufficient.
Statement II : PS = 10, QR = 5
From eqn(I), $k = \frac{1}{2}$
But, we do not know anything regarding the measures of the remaining sides or any of the angles.
So, statement II is not sufficient.
