  • If the data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
  • If the data statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in both the statements I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
  • If the data in statement I alone or in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
  • If the data in both the statement I and II is not sufficient to answer the question.
  • If the data in both the statement I and II together is necessary to answer the question.
  • Explanation:

    Let Rasika's present age = 4 years

    Manisha's present age = y years

    From statements I and II,

    (x+4) = 3 (y+4)

    x+4 = 3y+14

    x-3y = 8

    (x-2) = 5 (y-2)

    x-2 = 5y-10

    x-5y= -8

    On solving equations (i) and (ii),

    x=32, y=8

    ∴ Present age of Rasika = 32 years
