Data Sufficiency

Data sufficiency often involves very simple calculations.

Data sufficiency questions test your knowledge of basic maths facts and skills coupled with reasoning, analytical and problem solving abilities.

Each data sufficiency item presents you with a question where you need to decide whether or not presented along with question would be sufficient to answer the question.

MODEL PROBLEMS

C) Both Statements I and II together.

D) Neither Statement I nor II is sufficient.

E) Either Statement I or II.

Sol: From both statements we can calculate the efficiency of A, B and C. And from statement II we know the days of C to complete the work. From that we can easily calculate total days to complete the work by A, B and C. Ans: C

6. Is A is an even number?

A) Only Statement I alone.

B) Only Statement II alone.

C) Both Statements I and II together.

D) Neither Statement I nor II is sufficient.

E) Either Statement I or II.

Sol: From Statement I we cannot say about A is even or not because we do not know B is even or not. From Statement II we can say A is even because 6B is always even and 3A have to be even.

Ans: B

7. Find the present age of B.

Statement I – 2 years ago age of A is equal to the age of C 4 years ago. Age of C is average age of A and B.

A) Only Statement I alone.

B) Only Statement II alone.

C) Both Statements I and II together.

D) Neither Statement I nor II is sufficient.

E) Either Statement I or II.

Sol: From both Statements I and II we cannot calculate the exact age of any one. So we cannot calculate the age of B.

B) Only Statement II alone.

C) Both Statements I and II together.

D) Neither Statement I nor II is sufficient.

E) Either Statement I or II.
