II. The diameter of the field is v metres.

8) What is the speed of boat in stir water?

I. The boat covers a distance of 35 kms in 5 hours in down-stream.

Answer:

1. (d) 2. (d) 3. (c) 4. (e) 5. (d) 6. (b) 7. (c) 8. (e) 9. (e) 10. (a)

Explanations

1) (d)

Time taken in crossing each other

Total length of trains = Relative speed

The information given in both statements is not sufficient as length of train A and individual speed of each train is required.

2) (d)

Area of rectangle = Area of tri-angle. From the information given in both the statements, we can find area of triangle or area of rectangle. For finding length, breadth is required, which is not known.

3) (c)

From the statement I,

r=(100×100)/1000=10%

Thus we have,

P = Rs. 1000, r = 10%,

t = 3years

Hence, C.I. can be determined

From the statement II

S.I=(1000×r×2)/100=20r

C.I=1000 [(1+(r/100))]

C.I-S.I

1000 [(200r+(r²/10000))]-20r

2000r + r²-200r = 100

R=10

Hence, C.I. can be determined

4) (e)

Let the unit’s digit be x and ten’s digit be y and x < y.

Number = 10y + x

From statement I,

y – x = 5 ——- (i)

From statement II,

y + x = 7 —— (ii)

From (i) and (ii), x, y can be calculated and two digit number can be found.

5) (d)

Let the distance between A and B be z km.

Again, let speed of boat in still water be x kmph and that of stream be y kmph.

Rate downstream

= (x + y) kmph

Rate upstream = (x – y) kmph

From statement I,

z/(x+y)=2

From statement II

z/(x-y)=4

Data inadequate

6) (b)

From statement I,

If the annual income of boss be x, then Mr. Krishnamurthy’s annual income

= 70% of x

But we do not know the value of x. Hence, this statement is not sufficient. From statement II, Initial income = Z’ 12000

Increase = 10% per month

Time = 12 months

Income in May

= Rs. 12000 + 10% of 12000

= Rs. (12000 + 1200)

= Rs. 13200

Similarly, the income for other months can be calculated.

7) (c)

From statement I,

If the radius of the circular field be r metres, then

2r= x

This relation gives us the value of radius.

Area = it x (Radius)²

Hence, statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question

From statement II,

Diameter = y

Area = π × (Diametre/2)²

Hence, statement II alone is also sufficient to answer the question.

8) (e)

Let the speed of boat in still water be x kmph and that of cur-rent be y kmph

Rate upstream = (x – y) kmph

Rate downstream = (x + y) kmph

From statement I,

x+y = 35/5

x + y = 7 kmph

From statement II,

x – y = 35/7

x-y= 5 kmph

From combined statements I and H, we can get the required answer.

9) (e)

From statement I,

Let the number of boys and girls be 5x and 6x respectively.

From statement II,

6x – 5x = 7

x = 7 5x = 35 and 6x = 42

Clearly, both statements are required to answer the question.

10) (a)

From statement I,

SP = Rs. 1740

% Profit = 20

CP=(100×1740)/120=Rs. 1450

Profit = Rs. (1740 – 1450)

= Rs. 290

Information in statement II is not required.

Hence, statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.
