1.	Direction: Each question below is followed by two statements I and II. You have to determine whether the data given in the statement is sufficient for answering the question. You should use the data and your knowledge of Mathematics to choose the best possible answer.Find the present age of Ram.Statement I. Ram’s brother is 8 years younger to Ram.Statement II. The ratio of the present age of Ram and his brother is 3 ∶ 21.The statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question but, statement II alone is not sufficient.2.The statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question but, statement I alone is not sufficient.3.Both the statements I and II together are needed to answer the question.4.Either statement I alone or statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.5.Neither statement I nor statement II is sufficient to answer the question.
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : Both the statements I and II together are needed to answer the question. Statement I. Relation between Ram and his brother’s age is given. None of the ages are given So, Statement I alone is not sufficient Statement II. Ratio of the ages are given Let Ram’s age be 3x Ram’s Brother age = 2x Value of the ages are not given So, statement II alone is not sufficient Combining Statement I and Statement II 3x – 8 = 2x x = 8 Ram’s age = 3 × 8 = 24 years ∴ Both the statements I and II together are needed to answer the question.

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 :

Both the statements I and II together are needed to answer the question.

Statement I.

Relation between Ram and his brother’s age is given. None of the ages are given

So, Statement I alone is not sufficient

Statement II.

Ratio of the ages are given

Let Ram’s age be 3x

Ram’s Brother age = 2x

Value of the ages are not given

So, statement II alone is not sufficient

Combining Statement I and Statement II

3x – 8 = 2x

x = 8

Ram’s age = 3 × 8 = 24 years

∴ Both the statements I and II together are needed to answer the question.
