Answer» Correct Answer - Option 5 : The data in both the statement I and II together are necessary to answer. From statements I and II Let the present ages of Salim and Arman be 6x and 8x years respectively. ⇒ (6x) × (8x) = 192 ⇒ 48x2 = 192 ⇒ 4 = x2 ⇒ x = 2 Present age of Salim = 6 × 2 = 12 years and after 4 years will be 16 years. Present age of Arman = 8 × 2 = 16 years and after 4 years will be 20 years. ⇒ Ratio of their ages after 4 years = 16 : 20 ⇒ 4 : 5 ∴ The data in both the statement I and II together are necessary to answer. |
