2. Vivek has 30 rupees more than what Tarun has.

• 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 1

Answer: (D)

Neither I nor II is sufficient

From I, we have: S = T - 20.
From II, we have: V = T + 30.
Thus, from both I and II, we have: V + S = (T + 30) + (T - 20) = (2 T + 10).
So, to get the required amount, we need to know the amount that Tarun has.
