Answer» Solution Statement I : LAT MALES in city A = $27x$ and females in city A = $23x$ => $27x - 23x = 1,00,000$ => $x = \frac{1,00,000}{4} = 25,000$ $\therefore$ Total population of city A = $27x + 23x = 50x$ = $50 \times 25,000 = 12,50,000$ => Statement I ALONE is sufficient. Statement II : Let population of city B = $100x$ => Population of city A = $\frac{80}{100} \times 100x = 80x$ => $100x - 80x = 3,12,500$ => $x = \frac{3,12,500}{20} = 15,625$ $\therefore$ Population of city A = $80 \times 15,625 = 12,50,000$ => Statement II alone is sufficient. $\therefore$ Either statement alone is sufficient. |

Answer» Solution Let monthly income of MR. X = $Rs. 100x$ From I & II : Monthly SAVINGS = 100 - 85 = 15 % => $\frac{15}{100} \times 100x = 4,500$ => $x = \frac{4500}{15} = 300$ $\therefore$ Monthly salary = $100 \times 300 = Rs. 30,000$ From I & III : TOTAL money spent => $\frac{85}{100} \times 100x \times \frac{4}{5} = 20,400$ => $x = \frac{20,400}{68} = 300$ $\therefore$ Monthly Salary = $100 \times 300 = Rs. 30,000$ Thus, statement I is necessary and either II or III is not necessarily REQUIRED. |
