-
- If the data in Statement I alone are suffcient to answer the question while the data in Statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question
- If 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
- If the data in Statement I alone or in Statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question
- if the data in both the Statement I and II are not sufficient to answer the question
- If the data in both the Statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question
Correct Option: E
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 : 12
