    if the data in Statements II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.

    Correct Option: C

    if the data in Statements II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.

    Even by using both the statements together we cannot determine whether B has highest number of student or D.

    Correct Option: D

    Even by using both the statements together we cannot determine whether B has highest number of student or D.

  1. What is the perimeter of a semi-circle ?
    I. The radius of the semi- circle is equal to half the side of a square.
    II. The area of the square is 196 sq cm.

    From Statement II.
    Suppose, side of a square be x.
    Hence, x2 = 196
    ∴ x = 14 cm
    From Statements I and II,
    Radius of semi-circle, r = 7 cm
    ∴ Circumference of semi-circle
    πr = 22/7 x 7 = 22 cm
    Hence, both Statement are required .

    Correct Option: E

    From Statement II.
    Suppose, side of a square be x.
    Hence, x2 = 196
    ∴ x = 14 cm
    From Statements I and II,
    Radius of semi-circle, r = 7 cm
    ∴ Circumference of semi-circle
    πr = 22/7 x 7 = 22 cm
    Hence, both Statement are required .


  1. What is the exact average of n, 35, 39, 42, p and w ?
    I. n is six more than w.
    II. w is four less than p.

    From Statement I.
    n = W + 6
    From Statement II,
    p = w + 4
    The value of w is not given.
    So, exact average can't be determined .

    Correct Option: D

    From Statement I.
    n = W + 6
    From Statement II,
    p = w + 4
    The value of w is not given.
    So, exact average can't be determined .
