Question

How many pages of the book Ram read on Monday. The book was read completely by Tuesday.

Statement I: Ram read the last 30 pages of the book on Tuesday

Statement II: The book has 600 pages out of which half were read by Ram before Monday

In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

1. Data in Statement I alone is sufficient to find the answer
2. Data in Statement II is sufficient enough to find answer 
3. Data in Statements I and II together is not sufficient to find the answer
4. Data in both the Statements is sufficient to find the answer

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Data in both the Statements is sufficient to find the answer

EXPLANATION:

There are a total of 600 pages in the book out of which 300 were read before Monday as given in statement (II)

∴ on Monday we are left with 300 pages. This information is not sufficient to find out the answer so we will use Statement (I) as well.

According to Statement (I), Ram read the last 30 pages on Tuesday so by using this information we can say ram read 300 - 30 = 270 pages on Monday
