    How many students from Institute R got placement?

    I. The number of students studying in Institute Q and R are in the ratio of 5:7. II. 55% of the students studying in institute R got placement. 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.
    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 either in statement I alone or in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D If the data even in both the statement I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E If the data in both statement I and II together are needed to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From I and II, Let the number of students in institute Q be 5x and that in institute R be 7x. Then, 55% of students in R got placement. ∴ 55% of 7x got placement. So, neither I nor II is sufficient to answer the question because the exact number of students is not given.
