3. The question consists of 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.
Rahul invested certain amount of money partially in scheme A offering 10% compound interest
compounded annually and rest in scheme B offering 13% simple interest. Find the total amount invested by
Rahul.
Statement I: Total interest earned by Rahul after three years is Rs. 5,827.
Statement II: Total interest earned by Rahul after two years is Rs. 3,810
A. The data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone
are not sufficient to answer the question.
B. The data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone
are not sufficient to answer the question.
C. The data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
D. The data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
E. The data given in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
Correct Answers : C. The data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
Explanation : Statement I:
Let the amounts invested by Rahul in schemes A and B are Rs. x and Rs. y respectively.
Interest earned by Rahul from scheme A after three years = x × {(1 + 0.10)3 – 1} = Rs. 0.331x
Interest earned by Rahul from scheme B after three years = y × 0.13 × 3 = Rs. 0.39y
Statement II:
Let the amounts invested by Rahul in schemes A and B are Rs. x and Rs. y respectively.
Let’s Study Together – India’s No.1 Govt. Job Exam Prep. Website – BANK | RBI | SEBI | NABARD | SSC | Railways
Interest earned by Rahul from scheme B after two years = y × 0.13 × 2 = Rs. 0.26y
So data in statement I and statement II together are necessary to answer the question.

A. Train L cross train S coming from the opposite side in 12 seconds, speed of train S is 18 m/sec and length
of train S is half of train L.
Let’s Study Together – India’s No.1 Govt. Job Exam Prep. Website – BANK | RBI | SEBI | NABARD | SSC | Railways
Explanation :
Length of platform = z
Speed of train L = x
From statement A,
y+y218+x=12y+y218+x=12
⇒24x−3y=−432⇒24x−3y=−432
Here, two values are unknown so, we can't find the length of the platform from alone statement A.
From statement B,
= yx=12yx=12
⇒y=12x⇒y=12x
So, we can't find the length of the platform from alone statement B.
x=36m/sec.x=36m/sec.
Here, we can't find the length of the platform from both statements A and B.
From statement C,
z+yx=18z+yx=18
Here, we can't find the length of the platform from alone statement C.
z=18x−yz=18x−y

Box X = 20 Mangoes
10. What is the difference between the interest earned by Prashant from scheme I and II?
II. Prashant invested Rs 800 in scheme III which is Rs 200 less than what he invested in scheme I Time
period for both schemes I and III is 2 years
Let’s Study Together – India’s No.1 Govt. Job Exam Prep. Website – BANK | RBI | SEBI | NABARD | SSC | Railways
Explanation :
From Statement I
Time = 3 years
From Statement 2
Time = 2 years
From statement 3
I : II = 3 : 5 (Rate of Interest)
We can’t neither calculate the interest earned nor the difference in them for scheme I and II.

Explanation :
Note:
Value of Z3 is less than Z and Z is an integer means the value of Z is less than -1.
Then, in Z3 + Z2:
Z3 will be negative and Z2 will be positive and numerical value of Z3 will be more than numerical value of Z2.
When a large negative number is added to a small positive number, then the result obtained is negative.
Then, in Z3 + Z2:
Z3 and Z2 will be positive and numerical value of Z3 will be more than numerical value of Z2.
13. Directions : Study the data carefully and answer the following questions.
Anchal and Amandeep started a business by investing in the ratio of 6: 5 and after 6 month Abhishek joined
the business with 33(1/3)% more than the initial investment of Anchal and at that time Amandeep invested
again 20% more than his initial investment. Further 6 more months, Anchal, Amandeep and Abhishek
invested again in the ratio 2: 3: 5. After 2 years, Amandeep withdraw 1/3rd of his last investment for his
child's education and at that time Anchal and Abhishek again invested in the ratio 5: 6 and further 6
months more, Anchal again invested 20% more than his last investment. They invested the whole amount
for three years and the profit earned in the business is proportional to the investment and the period of
investment.
If at the end of three years, total profit earned by them is Rs. 439890, then what is the share of profit of
Anchal?
Statement I: The investment by Abhishek after 2 years is 50% more than the investment by Amandeep
after 1 year.

After 2 years,
The initial investment of Abhishek is 4000 more than the initial investment of Anchal which is 50% less than
the investment by Amandeep after 1 year.

The initial investment of Abhishek is 4000 more than the initial investment of Anchal which is 50% less than
the investment by Amandeep after 1 year.
8x = 4000 + 6x
=> 2x = 4000

14. Each of the questions below consists of a question and three statements numbered I, II and III given
below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the
question. Read all the statements and give answer.
There are 5 artists, 8 dancers, some players and some singers in a locality. Find the probability of selecting
2 artists and 2 singers from the locality.
Statement II: A committee of four members is to be formed such that the committee contains 1 artist, 1
dancer, 1 player and 1 singer. The number of ways in which this can be possible is 480.
A. Only I and II
Explanation :
Artists = 5
Dancers = 8
Let, Players = m
And Singers = n
Total = 5 + 8 + m + n = 13 + m + n
Let’s Study Together – India’s No.1 Govt. Job Exam Prep. Website – BANK | RBI | SEBI | NABARD | SSC | Railways
m/(13 + m + n) = 1/5
=> 5m = 13 + m + n
=> 5m - m - n = 13
And
5
c1 x 8c1 x mc1 x nc1 = 480
=> 5 x 8 x m x n = 480
=> m x n = 480/40
=> mn = 12
4m - 12/m = 13
=> (m - 4)(4m + 3) = 0
=> m = 4, -3/4(rejected)
=> m = 4
From (ii)
n = 12/4 = 3
Hence, Players = 4
And Singers = 3
Total = 13 + 4 + 3 = 20
Let’s Study Together – India’s No.1 Govt. Job Exam Prep. Website – BANK | RBI | SEBI | NABARD | SSC | Railways
= (10 x 3)/4845
= 2/323
m/(13 + m + n) = 1/5
=> 5m = 13 + m + n
=> 5m - m - n = 13
And
5/(13 + m + n) = ¼
=> 20 = 13 + m + n
=> m + n = 20 - 13
4m - n + m + n = 13 + 7
=> 5m = 20
=> m = 20/5
=> m = 4
From (ii)
4+n=7
=> n = 7 - 4
=> n = 3
Hence, Players = 4
And Singers = 3
Total = 13 + 4 + 3 = 20
Let’s Study Together – India’s No.1 Govt. Job Exam Prep. Website – BANK | RBI | SEBI | NABARD | SSC | Railways
= (10 x 3)/4845
= 2/323
=> 5 x 8 x m x n = 480
=> m x n = 480/40
=> mn = 12
And
5/(13 + m + n) = ¼
=> 20 = 13 + m + n
=> m + n = 20 - 13
m + 12/m = 7
=> m2 + 12 = 7m
=> m2 - 7m + 12 = 0
=> m2 - 4m - 3m + 12 = 0
=> (m - 3)(m - 4) = 0
=> m = 3, 4

15. The problem below consists of a question and three statements numbered I, II and III given below it.
You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question.
Read all the statements and give answer.
Find the time taken by the train A to cross another train of length 380 m running in the direction of the
train with the speed of 40 Km/h
Statement III: The train A can cross another train of length 440 m coming from the opposite direction with
the speed of 38 Km/h in 36 seconds.
Explanation :
l + 780 = s x 5/18 x 90
l = s x 5/18 x 31.5
Let’s Study Together – India’s No.1 Govt. Job Exam Prep. Website – BANK | RBI | SEBI | NABARD | SSC | Railways
=> s = 780/16.25
=> s = 48 Km/h
From (ii)
l = 8.75 x 48 = 420 m
l + 780 = s x 5/18 x 90
Let’s Study Together – India’s No.1 Govt. Job Exam Prep. Website – BANK | RBI | SEBI | NABARD | SSC | Railways
=> s = 48 Km/h
From (i)
l = 25 x 48 - 780
=> l = 420 m
l = s x 5/18 x 31.5
8.75s = 10s - 60
=> 1.25s = 60
=> s = 60/1.25
=> s = 48 Km/h

answer the question.
Let’s Study Together – India’s No.1 Govt. Job Exam Prep. Website – BANK | RBI | SEBI | NABARD | SSC | Railways
Explanation :
Statement I:
Total time taken by C and D together to complete the whole work = 6 × 100/80 = 7.5 days
So, a + b = c + d
Statement II:
Time taken by A and D together to complete the whole work = 60/11 days
Statement III:
a = 2c
b = 0.4 × d
2c + 0.4d = c + d
c = 0.6d
