- If the data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
- If the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.
Correct Option: C
As per the given all details in above question , we can say
From statement I,
32% + 1 = 36% − 1 = Minimum pass marks
⇒ 36% - 32% = 1 + 1 ⇒ 4% = 2 ⇒ 2% = 1 marks
∴ Minimum pass marks = 16 + 1 = 17
From statement II,
Minimum pass marks = 30% + 2 and
(40 − 30)% = 5 ∴ 30% = 15
∴ Minimum pass marks = 15 + 2 = 17
Hence, either A or B alone is sufficient.
