You have to study the question and data in the statements and decide that the question can be answered with the data given in which of the statements and mark your answer accordingly. ÂSolution
From I, II and III Let the price of two houses A and B be 4x and 5x respectively. (3x × 120/100)/(4x + 20,000) = 4/5 18x = 16 x + 80,000 18 x - 16 x = 80,000 2 x = 80,000 x = 40,000 Last year the price of house P was 40,000 × 3 = Rs 1,20,000 Hence all the statements together are required to answer the question.
