    C The data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D The data given in both statements I and II together is not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E The data in both statements I and II together is necessary to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let present ages of 'Aman' and 'Bheem' be '5x' years and '6x' years, respectively. Statement I: According to statement: 1.20 X (5x + 15) = 6x + 18 Or, 6x + 18 = 6x + 18 Since, we cannot find the value of 'x'. So, we cannot find the present age of 'Aman'. So, data given in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question. Statement II: According to statement; (5x + 5) + (6x + 5) = 2.2 X 5x + 10 Or, 11x + 10 = 11x + 10 Since, we cannot find the value of 'x'. So, we cannot find the present age of 'Aman'. So, data given in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question. Combining statements I and II, we get; We cannot find the present age of 'Aman'. Therefore, the data given in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
