I. There are 47 students in the class. 

II. Jatin who ranks 10th in the same class, ranks 38th from the last. 

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

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) If the data either in I or II alone are sufficient to answer the question;

Explanation:

To find the rank from other end, we need to know the total number of students in the class. So. I is sufficient. Also: from II, we can conclude that there are (10 + 38- 1 = 47) students in the class.

Q:

A bird lover was asked how many birds he had in the basket. He replied that there were all parrots but six, all pigeons but six, and all koel but six. How many birds he had in the basket in all ?

A) 8 B) 18
C) 9 D) 10
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 9

Explanation:

There were all parrots but six means that six birds were not parrots but only pigeons and koels.

Similarly, number of parrots + number of koels = 6 and number of parrots + number of pigeons = 6.

This is possible when there are 3 parrots, 3 pigeons and 3 koels i.e. 9 birds in all.
