Directions: Each of the following consists of a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question.
If “hunger people fight” is coded as 14 63 28 then find the code for “hunger index poverty”?
Statement I:& “poverty fight problem” is coded as 39 14 21 and “index problem” is coded as 57 39.
Statement II:& “hunger problem persist” is coded as 72 63 39 and “poverty persist” is coded as 21 72.
Statement I:& “poverty fight problem” is coded as 39 14 21 and “index problem” is coded as 57 39.
Statement II:& “hunger problem persist” is coded as 72 63 39 and “poverty persist” is coded as 21 72.
Options
- AIf the data in statement I is sufficient to answer the question.
- BIf the data in statement II is sufficient to answer the question.
- CIf the data in either statement I or statement II is sufficient to answer the question.
- DIf the data in both statement I and statement II are necessary to answer the question.
Correct answer
D.
If the data in both statement I and statement II are necessary to answer the question.
Step-by-step solution
If “hunger people fight” is coded as 14 63 28 then find the code for “hunger index poverty”?
Statement I: “poverty fight problem” is coded as 39 14 21 and “index problem” is coded as 57 39.
Statement II: “hunger problem persist” is coded as 72 63 39 and “poverty persist” is coded as 21 72.
Checking statement I:
"hunger people fight” is coded as 14 63 28
“poverty fight problem” is coded as 39 14 21&
“index problem” is coded as 57 39
Thus tthe code for poverty index is 21 57 respectively but we don't know thw code for hunger.
Hence data in statement I is not sufficient.
Checking statement II:
"hunger people& fight” is coded as& 14& 63 28
“hunger problem persist” is coded as 72 63 39
“poverty persist” is coded as 21& 72
We get the codes for hunger poverty only but not for index.
Hence data in statement II is not sufficient.
Checking statements I and II:
"hunger& people& fight” is coded as& 14& 63& 28
“poverty& fightproblem” is coded as& 3914& 21&
“index& problem” is coded as 57& 39
“hunger& problem& persist” is coded as& 7263& 39
“poverty& persist” is coded as 21& 72
Thus the code for hunger poverty index is 63 21 57.
Thus& data in both the statements together is necessary to answer.
Hence option D is correct.
Statement I: “poverty fight problem” is coded as 39 14 21 and “index problem” is coded as 57 39.
Statement II: “hunger problem persist” is coded as 72 63 39 and “poverty persist” is coded as 21 72.
Checking statement I:
"hunger people fight” is coded as 14 63 28
“poverty fight problem” is coded as 39 14 21&
“index problem” is coded as 57 39
Thus tthe code for poverty index is 21 57 respectively but we don't know thw code for hunger.
Hence data in statement I is not sufficient.
Checking statement II:
"hunger people& fight” is coded as& 14& 63 28
“hunger problem persist” is coded as 72 63 39
“poverty persist” is coded as 21& 72
We get the codes for hunger poverty only but not for index.
Hence data in statement II is not sufficient.
Checking statements I and II:
"hunger& people& fight” is coded as& 14& 63& 28
“poverty& fightproblem” is coded as& 3914& 21&
“index& problem” is coded as 57& 39
“hunger& problem& persist” is coded as& 7263& 39
“poverty& persist” is coded as 21& 72
Thus the code for hunger poverty index is 63 21 57.
Thus& data in both the statements together is necessary to answer.
Hence option D is correct.
