    Question

    If a rope is cut into 3 pieces of unequal length, what

    is the length of the shortest of these pieces? I. The combined length of the 2 longer pieces of the rope is 12 m. II. The combined length of the 2 shorter pieces of the rope is 10 m. Each of the questions below consists of a question and 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. Read both the statements and give answer – 
    A If the data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B If the data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone is 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 statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    β€˜x’, β€˜y’, β€˜z’ be the lengths of the ropes is in the increasing order of length. Then from statement I, x + z = 12 and from statement II, x + y = 10 2 equations and 3 variables. Thus, cannot get β€˜x’.
