II. Other allowances drawn by Rajan besides his basic salary are Rs 2000 per month which is Rs 50 less than Vasu's salary.

A) II only B) II and III together
C) I and II together ( D) I, II and III together
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) I, II and III together

Explanation:

From III, we have : Rajan's basic salary = Rs 1550.

From I,   we have : Vasu's basic salary = Rs (1550 + 100) =  Rs 1650.

From II.  we have : Rajan's other allowances = RS 2000

             and Vasu's other allowances = Rs 2050.

Vasu's monthly salary is (1650 + 2050) = Rs 3700.

Thus, all the three statements are required.

Q:

In a cricket match, five batsmen P, Q, R, S and T scored an average of 36 runs. S Scored 5 more than T; T scored 8 fewer than P; Q scored as many as S and T combined; and Q and R scored 107 between them. How many runs did T score ?

A) 20 B) 29
C) 28 D) 24
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 20

Explanation:

Let the runs scored by P, Q, R, S and T be  a, b, c, d and e

From given data,

a + b + c + d + e = 36 x 5 = 180
b + c = 107
Let a = x
e = x-8
d = x-3
now 3x - 11 + 107 = 180
3x = 84
x = 28
e's score = 28-8 = 20

Q:

A bird lover was asked how many birds he had in the basket. He replied that there were all parrots but six, all pigeons but six, and all koel but six. How many birds he had in the basket in all ?

A) 8 B) 18
C) 9 D) 10
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 9

Explanation:

There were all parrots but six means that six birds were not parrots but only pigeons and koels.

Similarly, number of parrots + number of koels = 6 and number of parrots + number of pigeons = 6.

This is possible when there are 3 parrots, 3 pigeons and 3 koels i.e. 9 birds in all.
