Question: What will be the total
weight of 10 poles, each of the same weight ?
Statements:
I.
One-fourth
of the weight of each pole is 5 kg.
II.
The
total weight of three poles is 20 kilograms more than the total weight of two
poles.

|
A.
|
I alone is sufficient
while II alone is not sufficient
|
|
B.
|
II alone is sufficient
while I alone is not sufficient
|
|
C.
|
Either I or II is
sufficient
|
|
D.
|
Neither I nor II is
sufficient
|
|
E.
|
Both I and II are
sufficient
|
|
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
From I, we conclude that weight of each pole
= (4x5) kg = 20 kg.
So, total weight of 10 poles = (20 x 10) kg =
200 kg.
From II, we conclude that:
Weight of each pole = (weight of 3 poles) -
(weight of 2 poles) = 20 kg.
So, total weight of 10 pojes = (20 x 10) kg =
200 kg.
