I. There are 47 students in the class. 

II. Jatin who ranks 10th in the same class, ranks 38th from the last. 

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

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) If the data either in I or II alone are sufficient to answer the question;

Explanation:

To find the rank from other end, we need to know the total number of students in the class. So. I is sufficient. Also: from II, we can conclude that there are (10 + 38- 1 = 47) students in the class.

So. II alone is also sufficient.

Q:

A, B, C, D and E play a game of cards. A says to B, "If you give me 3 cards, you will have as many as I have at this moment while if D takes 5 cards from you, he will have as many as E has." A and C together have twice as many cards as E has. B and D together also have the same number of cards as A and C taken together. If together they have 150 cards, how many cards has C got ? 

A) 28 B) 29
C) 31 D) 35
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 28

Explanation:

Clearly, we have :

A = B - 3 ...(i)

D + 5 = E ...(ii)

A+C = 2E ...(iii)

B + D = A+C = 2E ...(iv)

A+B + C + D + E=150 ...(v)

From (iii), (iv) and (v), we get: 5E = 150 or E = 30.

Putting E = 30 in (ii), we get: D = 25.

Putting E = 30 and D = 25 in (iv), we get: B = 35.

Putting B = 35 in (i), we get: A = 32.

Putting A = 32 and E = 30 in (iii), we get: C = 28.
