    Question

    How many children does Mr. Jagdish has? I. Mr.

    Jagdish has six sons and each has one sister. II. Number of sons of Mr. Jagdish is six times the number of his daughter (s). 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 both statement I and II together are needed 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 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

    Solution

    From I: Number of sons = 6, Number of daughters = 1. Hence, total children  = 7. From II: Suppose number of daughters = x; So, the number of sons = 6x, We have 2 possibilities for daughters 1 or 6. So, if number of daughter = 1, and number of sons is 6. Which is 6 times and if number of daughter = 6, and number of sons is 6. Which is not 6 times. So statement I is required.
