Directions: The below mentioned question is to be answered using...
Directions: The below mentioned question is to be answered using the statements I and II given below. You have to determine the statement(s) which is/are sufficient to answer the question and mark the option accordingly.
If the code for ‘pain’ is 20 then find the code for “loss pain no gain”?
Statement I : “loss money gain nothing” is coded as 25 78 41 63 and “nothing loss no profit” is coded as 58 41 36 25.
Statement II : “gain weight no health” is coded as 21 78 36 14 and “no exercise health loss” is coded as 57 36 14 25.
Options
- AIf the data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question
- BIf the data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question
- CIf the data in statements I and II is necessary to answer the question
- DIf the data in statements I and II is not sufficient to answer the question
Correct answer
C.
If the data in statements I and II is necessary to answer the question
Step-by-step solution
If the code for ‘pain’ is 20 then find the code for “loss pain no gain”?
Statement I: “loss money gain nothing” is coded as 25 78 41 63 and “nothing loss no profit” is coded as 58 41 36 25.
Statement II: “gain weight no health” is coded as 21 78 36 14 and “no exercise health loss” is coded as 57 36 14 25.
Checking statement I:
“loss money gain nothing” is coded as 25 78 41 63
“nothing loss no profit” is coded as 58 41 36 25
Thus code for loss, no and gain cannot be determined.
Hence data in statement I is not sufficient.
Checking statement II:
“gain weight no health” is coded as 21 78 36 14
“no exercise health loss” is coded as 57 36 14 25
Thus code for loss, no and gain cannot be determined.
Hence data in statement II is not sufficient.
Checking both statements I and II:
“loss& money gain& nothing” is coded as& 2578& 41& 63
“nothing lossno profit” is coded as 58& 41& 36& 25
“gain weight& no health” is coded as 21 7836 14
“no& exercise& health& loss” is coded as 57& 36 14& 25
Thus codes for 'no', 'loss' and 'gain' are 36,25 and 78 respectively.
Hence data in both the statements together is necessary to answer.
Hence option C is correct.
Statement I: “loss money gain nothing” is coded as 25 78 41 63 and “nothing loss no profit” is coded as 58 41 36 25.
Statement II: “gain weight no health” is coded as 21 78 36 14 and “no exercise health loss” is coded as 57 36 14 25.
Checking statement I:
“loss money gain nothing” is coded as 25 78 41 63
“nothing loss no profit” is coded as 58 41 36 25
Thus code for loss, no and gain cannot be determined.
Hence data in statement I is not sufficient.
Checking statement II:
“gain weight no health” is coded as 21 78 36 14
“no exercise health loss” is coded as 57 36 14 25
Thus code for loss, no and gain cannot be determined.
Hence data in statement II is not sufficient.
Checking both statements I and II:
“loss& money gain& nothing” is coded as& 2578& 41& 63
“nothing lossno profit” is coded as 58& 41& 36& 25
“gain weight& no health” is coded as 21 7836 14
“no& exercise& health& loss” is coded as 57& 36 14& 25
Thus codes for 'no', 'loss' and 'gain' are 36,25 and 78 respectively.
Hence data in both the statements together is necessary to answer.
Hence option C is correct.
