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
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 ?
Statements:

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
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
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.
