    Question

    In each of the following questions, a question is followed by two statement. Read all the statements and find that which statements are required to answer the question and answer accordingly.

    What is the speed of man in still water?

    Statement I : The speed of man in still water is twice the speed of the stream. Statement II : In 30 minutes, the man can swim thrice as far with the stream as he can against the stream.
    A If the data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B If the data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C If the data either in statement I alone or statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D If the data given in both I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E If the data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From Statement I, Speed of stream = x km/hr then man’s speed = 2x km/hr From Statement II, Let speed of stream = a km/hr and man’s speed = b km/hr since times is equal to travel upstream and downstream, 3d/(a+b) = d/(b- a ) we get the same statement as I, Man’s speed (b) = 2 times speed of stream (a). Thus both the statements are not sufficient to answer the question.
