Option “E” is correct.

Answer: E

From Statement I,

Ratio of the mixture of milk and water in vessel A is 3:2 and the total quantity of the mixture of milk and water in vessel B is 90 liters.

So, Statement I alone is not sufficient to the answer the question.

From Statement II,

Ratio of the milk and water in the ratio of vessel B is 5:4. If the mixture of vessel A and B is mixed together, then the ratio of milk and water becomes in the final solution is 4:3.

So, Statement II alone is not sufficient to the answer the question.

From Statement I and II,

Milk in vessel B = 5/9 * 90 = 50 liters

Water in vessel B = 4/9 * 90 = 40 liters

(50 + 3x/5)/(40 + 2x/5) = 4/3

160 + 8x/5 = 150 + 9x/5

x/5 = 10

x = 50

Milk in vessel A = 3 * 50/5 = 30 liters

Both statements are necessary to answer the question.

D. The data given in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question
E. The data given in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.

Option “E” is correct.

Answer: E

From statement I,

Let, CP of the Laptop = 100x

MP of the laptop = 100x * 180/100 = 180x

Discount = 33(1/3)% on marked price of the laptop

So, Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

From statement II,

CP = 5x

MP = 9x

Profit = SP – CP = Rs.3000

So, Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

From statement I and II,

SP = 9x * (100 – 33(1/3))/100

SP = 6x

6x – 5x = 3000

x = 3000

MP = 3000 * 9 = Rs.27000

Both statements are necessary to answer the question.

From statement I and II,

1/4 = 3C1/(4x + 5x + 3)C1

12 = 9x + 3

x = 1

Required probability = 5C1/12C1 = 5/12

Both statements are necessary to answer the question.

Bala’s age after 6 years = 4x + 4 + 6 = 4x + 10

So, Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

From statement II,

A/S = 4/3

B/R = 3/2

So, Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
