• A. If data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.
• B. If data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
• C. If data in both statements I and II are needed to answer the question
• D. If data in both statements I and II are not sufficient to answer the question.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. If data in both statements I and II are needed to answer the question

From Statement I, Marks scored by Sunil = 288 and marks scored by Raman = 288 - 128 = 160 ∴ Maximum marks = 160 x100/25 = 640 From Statement II, Minimum passing Marks = 160 + 64 = 224 ∴ Minimum passing percentage = 224 x 100 /640 = 35% Hence, the data in both the statements are necessary to answer the question.
