Quantitative Aptitude: Data Sufficiency Questions Set 15

  1. what is distance between city A and city B ?
    I. Sanju and Manju started their journey simultaneously from city A to city B with their speeds in the ratio of 3 : 2.
    II. Manju takes 2 hours more than Sanju to reach city B.
    II. The difference between speeds of Sanju and Manju is 25 km/hr.
    Only I and II is sufficient.
    Only II and III is sufficient.
    Either I or II is sufficient.
    Neither I nor II is sufficient.
    All I, II and III are sufficient.
    Option E
    From I, Let speed of Sanju = 3x
    speed of Manju = 2x
    From II, we can not calculate distance between city A and B.
    From III, difference between speed of Sanju and Manju is given, so we can not calculate the answers.
    from statement, I, II, III together,
    Difference between their speeds = 3x – 2x = 25
    x = 25
    speed of Sanju = 3 * 25 = 75
    speed of Manju = 2 * 25 = 50
    Let distance = D
    D/50 – D/75 = 2
    3D – 2D/150 = 2
    D = 300

    Option E
    From I, only from statement I we can not get the answer.
    From I and II,
    LCM of 16 and 12 = 144
    Total work = 144
    efficiency of A and B = 144/16 = 9
    efficiency of B and C = 144/12 = 12
    Here, we can not get answers.
    From I, II and III,
    efficiency of A and C = 144/18 = 8
    A + B + B + C + A + C = 9 + 12 + 8 = 29
    A + B + C = 29/2 = 14.5
    Here, we can get the answers.

    Both I and II are sufficient.
    Option A
    From I,
    Ratio of SP and CP of the article = 7 : 5
    SP = 14000
    CP = 14000/7 * 5 = 10000
    profit % = (14000 – 10000)/10000 * 100 = 40%
    only statement I is sufficient.

    from I and II,
    Let, total investment of A and B = 100x
    investment of A = 60x
    investment of B = 40x
    ratio of investment A and B = 3 : 2
    investment of B = 48000/3 * 2 = 32000
    From I and III,
    Investment of A = 48000
    Investment ratio of A and B = 3 : 2
    investment of B = 48000/3 * 2 = 32000
    either only statement I and II or only statement I and III is sufficient.
