ক)
The data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.খ)
The data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.গ)
The data in statement I alone or in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.ঘ)
The data in both the statements I and II is not sufficient to answer the question.ঙ)
The data in both the statements I and II together is necessary to answer the question.Explanation
From statement I: The series is of positive consecutive integers. Knowing ratio of last number and first number, we cannot determine the series uniquely. It can be numbers from 1 to 101, or from 2 to 202, or from 3 to 303, and so on. Hence, sum of series cannot be uniquely found. ∴ Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question. From statement II: There are not more than 200 terms in the series. Knowing this, we cannot determine the series uniquely. It can be numbers from 1 to 100, or from 1 to 101, or from 1 to 103, and many other options are possible. Hence, sum of series cannot be uniquely found. ∴ Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question. From statements I and II together: The series is of positive consecutive integers. Knowing that ratio of last number and first number, we can say that numbers in series would be from 1 to 101, or from 2 to 202, or from 3 to 303, and so on. Also, we know that there are not more than 200 terms in the series. So, only option possible is 1 to 101, as all other options will have more than 200 terms. ⇒ Series will be positive consecutive numbers from 1 to 101. Hence, sum of series can be uniquely found. ∴ Using both the statements together, we can answer the given question.Related questions
