Question

If 5p + 2q = 23, then determine the value of ‘p’

Q: Answer-If 5p + 2q = 23, then determine the value of ‘p’ Statement I: 35p + 14q = 161 Statement II: 20p +...

ATQ, Statement I Given, 5p 2q 23. 1 And, 35p 14q 161 Diving the equation throughout by 7, we get 5p 2q 23.. 2 Therefore, we cannot find the value of p. So, data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question. Statement II Given, 5p 2q 23. 1 And, 20p 8q 92 Dividing the equation throughout by 4, we get 5p 2q 23.. 2 Therefore, we cannot find the value of p. So, data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question. Combining statement I and II, we cannot find the value of p. So, data given in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.

Statement I: 35p + 14q = 161 Statement II: 20p + 8q = 92 The question consists of two statements numbered “I and II” given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question.

A 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.

B 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.

C The data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.

D The data given in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.

E The data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
