Multiple choice

The questions given below contain two statements giving certain data. You have to decide whether the data given in the statements are sufficient for answering the question? What is the difference between the ages of Ansu and Minsu? (I) The ratio of their ages is 3 : 4 (II) 3 years hence the sum of their ages will be 38 years

  1. If statement I alone is sufficient but statement II alone is not sufficient.

  2. If statement II alone is sufficient but statement I alone is not sufficient.

E Correct answer
Explanation

Statement I gives ratio 3:4 but not actual ages. Statement II gives sum after 3 years = 38, meaning current sum = 38-6 = 32. Combining both: if ages are 3x and 4x, then 7x = 32, giving ages ≈ 13.7 and 17.3, difference ≈ 3.6 years. Both statements together are sufficient.
