    Five men, three children and two women together can complete the task in 12 days.  II. Eight women complete the task in 20 days. III. Three men complete the task in 16 days. In each of these questions, one question is given followed by by data in three statements I, II and III.

    A Only II and III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only I and II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only I and III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From I In statement I there is only one condition. So we cannot find the answer. From II We have to find the days of men’s work and in statement II, the data is regarding women. So we cannot find the answer. From III 3 men = 16 days ∴  8 men = (16  ×  3)/8 = 6 days Hence, only statement III is sufficient to answer the question.
