C) 1, 2, 4 D) 1, 2, 6
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 1, 2, 6

Explanation:

4 is father of 1 and grandfather of 6. So, 1 is father of 6. Thus, 4 and 1 are the two fathers.
3 is the sister of 6. So, 3 is the daughter of 1. Since there is only one mother, it is evident that 5 is the wife of 1 and hence the mother of  3 and 6. So, 2 is brother of 1. There are three brothers. So, 6 is the brother of 3. Hence, 2 and 1 are brothers. 6 is the brother of 3. So, three brothers are 1, 2, 6.

I. The cost of the new car was three times the cost price of his old car. 

II. His old car was valued at Its 25000 under buy-back scheme. 

A) If the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question B) If the data in statement II alone are sufficient answer the question
C) If the data either in I or II alone are sufficient to answer the question; D) If the data in both the statements together are needed.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) If the data in both the statements together are needed.

From both the statements together, we conclude that the price of the new car is Rs (25000 * 3) i.e. Rs 75000

So, Ronnie had to pay Rs (75000 - 25000) i.e. Its 50000.
