    Question

    Direction (Q.116-120): each of the questions given below has one question and two statements marked I and II. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. Read both the statements and give answer:

    If the length of the room is 10 m, then what is the

    height of the room? I. The cost of painting the walls of the room at the rate of Rs. 25 per sq metre is Rs. 6,400. II. The cost of carpeting the floor at the rate of Rs. 140 per sq metre is Rs. 8,400.
    A If the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B If the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C If the data in both statement I and II together are required to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D If the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E if the data in both the statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let breadth and height of the room be b and h respectively. From I, Area of the four walls of the room = 2(10 + b)h = 6400/25 ⇒ 2(10 + b)h = 256 ⇒ (10 + b)h = 128 m……… (i) From II, 10 × b = 8400/140 ⇒ b = 8400/(140 ×10) = 6 m………(ii) By putting the value of b in equation (i), we get (10 + 6)h = 128 m ⇒ h = 128/16 = 8m. Therefore, both statement I and statement II together is required to answer the question.
