Question

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

• 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
• C. If the data either in I or II alone are sufficient to answer the question;
• D. If the data even in both the statements together are not sufficient to answer the question

Answer 1

The correct option is C If the data either in I or II alone are sufficient to answer the question;

From I, we can find the weight of $10$ poles = $4\times 5\times 10$ = $200$ kg
From II, we get
$3\times$ Pweight = $2\times$ Pweight + $20$
$\therefore$ Pweight = $20$ kg
$\therefore$ Weight of $10$ poles = $10\times 20$ = $200$ kg
So either I or II can help us to answer the question.
Option C
