The data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.3. Either statement I or statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.4. The data in both the statements I and II are not sufficient to answer the questions.5. The data in both the statement I and II together are necessary to answer.
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : The data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question. From statement I If the content of the two containers containing mixture of cashews and raisins in the ratio a : b and c : d respectively is mixed then the ratio of cashews and raisins in the final mixture = [a/(a + b) + c/(c + d)] : [b/(a + b) + d/(c + d)] a = 1, b = 3, c = 2 and d = 5 ⇒ {[1/(1 + 3)] + [2/(2 + 5)]}: {[3/(1 + 3)] + [5/(2 + 5)]} ⇒ {[1/4 + 2/7]} : {[3/4] + [5/7]} ⇒ [15/28] : [41/28] ⇒ 15 : 41 From statement II Only the weight of cashews is given, so we can’t get the answer from this information only. ∴ The data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : The data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

From statement I

If the content of the two containers containing mixture of cashews and raisins in the ratio a : b and c : d respectively is mixed then the ratio of cashews and raisins in the final mixture = [a/(a + b) + c/(c + d)] : [b/(a + b) + d/(c + d)]

a = 1, b = 3, c = 2 and d = 5

⇒ {[1/(1 + 3)] + [2/(2 + 5)]}: {[3/(1 + 3)] + [5/(2 + 5)]}

⇒ {[1/4 + 2/7]} : {[3/4] + [5/7]}

⇒ [15/28] : [41/28]

⇒ 15 : 41

From statement II

Only the weight of cashews is given, so we can’t get the answer from this information only.

∴ The data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question
