  • If the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question
  • If the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.

    From Statement II

    Let the numbers be 8x and 8y

    8 × 504 = 8x ×8y

    8×8×63 = 8x ×8y

    64 × 63 = 8x ×8y

    Comparing the values, we get the numbers 63 and 64.

    Population of state S = 75 × 100/120

    = 125/2 lakh

    Population of State R = 125/2 ×100/125 = 50lakh

    Population of State Q = 375/4 × 60/100

    =225/4 Lakh

    Population of state P = 75 × 80/100 = 60 lakh

    Population of State T = 60×100/150 = 40 lakh

     

    Required Percentage = (125/2-50/50 ×100)%

  • F
  • A
  • C
  • E
