From Statement I,
tell me the cost → @ 0 # 9
cost wase very high → & 6 # 1
⇒ cost → #
From Statement II ,
Some cost was discount → 1 6 7 #
Some people like discount → 8 7 5 %
⇒ some discount → 8 7 and cost → either 1 or #
Thus we can the code of 'cost' from Statement I only.
Hence, data in Statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question.Correct Option: D

Statement I,
40/100 xx = 20/100 x 50 ⇒ x = 25
Statement II,
30/100 x y = 25/100 x 72 ⇒ y = 60
From both statements,
x : y = 25 : 60 = 5 : 12Correct Option: E

From Statement I,
D + E = 14 x 2 = 28
From Statement II,
A + B + C + D + E + F = 4 x 50 = 200
(A + B + C + D + E + F)/6 = 28 + 200/6Correct Option: A
From Statement I,
D + E = 14 x 2 = 28
From Statement II,
A + B + C + D + E + F = 4 x 50 = 200
(A + B + C + D + E + F)/6 = 28 + 200/6
= 228/6 = 38
∴ Statement I and II are sufficient to answer the question.

Suppose, numbers be x and y.
Statement I. x2 = 9y
Statement II, x/y = 3/4Correct Option: E
Suppose, numbers be x and y.
Statement I. x2 = 9y
Statement II, x/y = 3/4
From both statement, we get
x = 12 and y = 16
