Direction: Each of the question below consists of a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statement are sufficient to answer the question.
-
What is the minimum passing percentage in a test ?
I. Raman scored 25% marks in the test and Sunil scored 288 marks which is 128 more than Raman.
II. Raman scored 64 marks less than the minimum passing marks.
-
- If the data in Statement I alone are sufficient 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 either Statement I alone or in Statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
- If the data in both the Statements 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
From Statement I,
Marks scored by Sunil = 288 and marks scored by Raman = 288 - 128 = 160
∴ Maximum marks = 160 x100/25 = 640
From Statement II,
Minimum passing Marks = 160 + 64 = 224
∴ Minimum passing percentage
= 224 x 100 /640 = 35%
Hence, the data in both the statements necessary to answer the question.
