Read the question and the two statements carefully. Decide whether the information given in the statements is sufficient to find the answer.
Question: What is the cost of one item?
Statements:
I. Total cost of identical items =
II. The items are blue in colour.
- AOnly statement I is sufficient
- BOnly statement II is sufficient
- CNeither statement I nor II is sufficient
- DBoth statements I and II together are sufficient
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
To find the cost of one item:
* From Statement I: The total cost of identical items is . Therefore, the cost of one item = . Thus, Statement I alone is sufficient.
* From Statement II: The colour of the items is blue. This information does not help in determining the cost. Thus, Statement II alone is not sufficient.
Hence, only statement I is sufficient.
* From Statement I: The total cost of identical items is . Therefore, the cost of one item = . Thus, Statement I alone is sufficient.
* From Statement II: The colour of the items is blue. This information does not help in determining the cost. Thus, Statement II alone is not sufficient.
Hence, only statement I is sufficient.
