Quantitative Aptitude: Data Sufficiency Questions Set 12

Directions: The following questions are accompanied by three statements I, II and III. You have to determine which statement/s is/are sufficient to answer the question.

  1. What is the amount invested by A?
    Statement I: Total amount received by B after 3 years is Rs.4800 at compound interest.
    Statement II: B and A invested their amount at the rate of 10% per annum.
    Statement III: A and B invested their amount at simple interest and compound interest respectively and the difference between the interests received by both after 2 years is Rs.1200.
    Only I and II are sufficient
    Only II and III are sufficient
    Either II alone or I and II together to sufficient
    All I, II and III necessary to the answer the question
    The question can’t be answered even with all I, II and III
    Option E
    From statement I,
    Let the amount invests by B = x
    4800 = x * (1 + R/100)^3
    So, Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
    From statement II,
    R = 10%
    So, Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
    From statement III,
    Let the amount invests by A = x
    Let amount invests by Bl = y
    SI = y * 2 * R/100 = yR/50
    CI = x * (1 + R/100)2 – x
    CI – SI = 1200
    or
    SI – CI = 1200
    So, Statement III alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

     

  2. What is the sum of the ages of person 1 and 2?
    Statement I: Ratio of the ages of 1 to 3 is 4: 5 and the ratio of the ages of 1 to 4 is 1: 3.
    Statement II: Sum of the ages of 2,3 and 4 is 125 years and 5 years ago the ratio of the ages of 1 to 4 is 3: 11.
    Statement III: 4’s age is 200% more than that of 1’s age and the difference between the ages of 1 and 4 is 40 years.
    Only I and II are sufficient
    Only II and III are sufficient
    Either II alone or I and II together to sufficient
    All I, II and III necessary to the answer the question
    The question can’t be answered even with all I, II and III
    Option A
    From statement I,
    p1/p3 = 4/5
    p1/p4 = 1/3
    So, Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question
    From Statement II,
    p2 + p3 + p4 = 125
    (p1 – 5)/(p4 – 5) = 3/11
    So, Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question
    From statement III,
    p4 = 300/100 * p1
    p4: p1 = 3: 1
    2x = 40
    x = 20
    p1= 20 years
    p4 = 3 * 20 = 60 years
    So, Statement III alone is not sufficient to answer the question
    From statement I and II,
    p1 and p4’s present age be x and 3x respectively
    (p1 – 5)/(p4 – 5) = 3/11
    (x – 5)/(3x – 5) = 3/11
    = > 11x – 55 = 9x – 15
    = > 2x = 40
    = > x = 20
    Present age of p1 and p4 is 20 and 60 years respectively
    p3’s present age = 20/4 * 5 = 25 years
    p2’s present age = 125 – (25 + 60) = 125 – 85 = 40 years
    Sum of the ages of p1 and p2 = (20 + 40) = 60 years
    Hence, statement I and II alone is sufficient to answer the given question.

     

  3. What is the total surface area of the conical box?
    Statement I: Ratio of height of the box to height of the cylindricall box is 2: 1.
    Statement II: Height of the cylindrical box is equal to the perimeter of the square whose area is 9 cm2.
    Statement III: Radius of the cone is equal to length of the rectangle whose perimeter is 20 cm.
    Only I and II are sufficient
    Only II and III are sufficient
    Either II alone or I and II together to sufficient
    All I, II and III necessary to the answer the question
    The question can’t be answered even with all I, II and III
    Option E
    Height of cone/height of the cylinder = 2/1
    So, Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question
    From statement II,
    Area of the square = 9
    Side of the square = 3
    Perimeter of the square = 3 * 4 = 12 cm
    Height of the cylinder = 12 cm
    So, Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question
    From statement III,
    Radius of the cone = length of the rectangle
    Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 * (l + b) = 20
    So, Statement III alone is not sufficient to answer the question

    Either II alone or I and II together to sufficient
    All I, II and III necessary to the answer the question
    The question can’t be answered even with all I, II and III
    Option D
    From statement I,
    p1= x
    p2 = 2x
    p3= (x + 1000)
    p4 = 3x
    So, Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question
    From Statement II,
    p3’s share = Rs.4000
    So, Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question
    From statement III,
    Profit ratio of p3/p4 = 2/3
    So, Statement III alone is not sufficient to answer the question
    From I, II and III
    Profit ratio of p1, p2, p3 and p4 = x * 12: 2x * 12: (x + 1000) * 6: 3x * 6
    =12x: 24x: (6x + 6000): 18x
    (6x + 6000)/18x = 2/3
    6x + 6000 = 12x
    x = 1000
    Profit ratio = 12000: 24000: 12000: 18000
    = 2: 4: 2: 3
    p2’s profit share = 4/2 * 4000 = 8000
    All the statements are necessary to answer the question.
