A. I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
B. II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
C. Either I or II is sufficient
D. Neither I nor II is sufficient
E. Both I and II are sufficient
[expand title=”Answer & Explanation”]
Answer: Option E
Explanation:
As given in I and II, we have: G = V = K, V + K + A = 32 and A = V + K.
Putting V + K = A in V + K + A = 32, we have: 2A = 32 or A = 16.
Thus, V + K = 16 and V = K. So, V = K = 8. Thus, G = 8.

Q2. Question: In a certain code, ’13’ means ‘stop smoking’ and ’59’ means ‘injurious habit’. What do ‘9’ and ‘5’ mean respectively in that code ?

A. I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
B. II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
C. Either I or II is sufficient
D. Neither I nor II is sufficient
E. Both I and II are sufficient
[expand title=”Answer & Explanation”]
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
’59’ means ‘injurious habit’ and ‘157’ means ‘stop bad habit’ (from I). Thus, the common code number ‘5’ stands for common word ‘habit’. So, ‘9’ represents ‘injurious’. Hence, I is sufficient.
Also, ’59’ means ‘injurious habit’ and ‘839’ means ‘smoking is injurious’. Thus, the common code number ‘9’ stands for common word ‘injurious’. So, ‘5’ represents ‘habit’. Thus, II is also sufficient.,

A. I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
B. II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
C. Either I or II is sufficient
D. Neither I nor II is sufficient
E. Both I and II are sufficient
[expand title=”Answer & Explanation”]
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
From I, we have: S = T – 20.
From II, we have: V = T + 30.
Thus, from both I and II, we have: V + S = (T + 30) + (T – 20) = (2 T + 10).
So, to get the required amount, we need to know the amount that Tarun has.

Answer: Option D
Explanation:
From I, we have: R>Q, R>T, S>R i.e. S>R>Q>T or S>R>T>Q.
From II, S is not the heaviest. So, P is the heaviest. Thus, we have: P > S > R > Q > T or P > S > R > T > Q. Hence, either T or Q is the lightest.

Explanation:
Statement I is merely an interpretation of the information contained in the question.
However, Vinod’s salary can be ascertained from II as follows : Let Vinod’s and Javed’s salaries be 4x and 3x respectively. Then, 3x = 4500 or x = 1500. Therefore Vinod’s salary = 4x = Rs. 6000.
