Question

What is the difference between the ages of Y and X ?
I. The ratio of the age X to the age of Y is 3 : 2.
II. One sixth of X's age is equal to one fourth of Y's age.

• A. The data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.
• B. The data in statement II alone sufficient to answer the question.
• C. The data either in statement I alone or statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question
• D. The data given in both I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question
• E. The data in both the statement I and II together are necessary to answer the question

Answer 1

The correct option is D The data given in both I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question

From I : X's age = 3x, Y's age = 2x
From II : $\frac{1}{6}\times 3x=\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)\times 2x$. this gives $\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}$
So no conclusion.
