    According to question ,
    From statement I , → The fixed value of CP is not given, so SP of the article cannot be determined.
    From statement II , → Let, K be SP of an article

    Correct Option: B

    According to question ,
    From statement I , → The fixed value of CP is not given, so SP of the article cannot be determined.
    From statement II , → Let, K be SP of an article

    K x 100 - 10= 200 x ( 100 + 15 )
    100100

    K x 90= 200 x 115
    100100

    ∴ K= 200 x 115= $ 255.55
    90

    Therefore , 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 .

  1. What is the value of m − n ÷ 37?

    As per the given all details in above question , we have
    From statement I ,As we know that Largest possible six digit number ( m ) = 999999, Smallest possible six digit number ( n ) = 1000000
    ∴ m − n ÷ 37 = 999999 − 1000000 ÷ 37
    = 999999 − 2702.70 = 997296.30

    Correct Option: A

    As per the given all details in above question , we have
    From statement I ,As we know that Largest possible six digit number ( m ) = 999999, Smallest possible six digit number ( n ) = 1000000
    ∴ m − n ÷ 37 = 999999 − 1000000 ÷ 37
    = 999999 − 2702.70 = 997296.30
    From statement II , m − n = known, but neither the value of ‘m’ is known nor the value of ‘n’ is known. So, we cannot find the value of m − n + 37 by this statement.

  1. What is the average monthly income per family member?
    I. Each male earns $ 1250 a month and each female earns $1050 a month.
    II. Ratio of males to females in the family is 2 : 1.

    On the basis of above given details in question , we can say
    I → M = $ 1250 and F = $ 1050
    II → M : F = 2 : 1
    Let male and female are 2k and k respectively .
    On combining both the statements,

    Correct Option: E

    On the basis of above given details in question , we can say that
    I → M = $ 1250 and F = $ 1050
    II → M : F = 2 : 1
    Let male and female are 2k and k respectively .
    On combining both the statements,

    Average = 2K x 1250 + K x 1050= 2500 + 1050 = 1183.33

  1. How many boys are there in the class?
    I. The class has total 45 children and ratio of boys to girls is 4 : 5.
    II. The ratio of girls to boys is 4 : 5 and boys are nine more than the girls.

    As per the given above question ,

    From statement I , Number of boys in the class = 4 x 45 = 20.
    9

    Ratio of boys to girls = 4 : 5.

    Correct Option: C

    As per the given above question ,

    From statement I , Number of boys in the class = 4 x 45 = 20.
    9

    Ratio of boys to girls = 4 : 5.
    From statement II , B= 5 and B - G = 9
    G4

    Let numbers of boys and girls are 5k and 4k .
    On Solving, the above two statements , we get 5k - 4k = 9 ⇒ k = 9
    Number of boys in the class B = 5 x 9 = 45.

  1. What will be the compound interest after 3 years?
    I. Rate of interest is 5 percent.
    II. The difference between the total simple interest and the total compound interest after two years is $ 20.

    As per the given all details in above question ,
    From statement I , R = 5%
    From statement II , (CI − SI) for two years = $ 20
    Combining I and II and using

    Sum = Diff x 100 x 100= 20 x 100 x 100 = $ 8000
    Rate x Rate25

    Correct Option: E

    As per the given all details in above question ,
    From statement I , R = 5%
    From statement II , (CI − SI) for two years = $ 20
    Combining I and II and using

    Sum = Diff x 100 x 100= 20 x 100 x 100 = $ 8000
    Rate x Rate25

    So , CI = 8000 1 + 5 3 - 8000 = $ 1261
    100

    Hence , option E is correct answer .
