Data Sufficiency Question for IBPS RRB 2017 Answers
1. (b)
According to question
Ratio of the ages of Jasim and Abdula = 6 : 11
From (A):
11x – 6x = 35
So, we can find out ratio of their age 5 years ago.
From(B):
(11x + 5) – (6x + 5) = 35
So, We can find out ratio of their age 5 years ago.
From(C):
11x +6x = 119
So, we can also find out ratio of their age 5 years ago.
2. (e)
Cost price per unit is not given;
So, Data is not sufficient to answer.
3. (e)
According to question.
\(8 M + 6 W = \frac { 1 } { 42 }\)
\(1.5 ( 8 M + 6 W ) = 1.5 \times \frac { 1 } { 42 }\)
\(12 \mathrm { M } + 9 \mathrm { W } = \frac { 1 } { 28 }\)
So, work will be completed in 28 days.
∴ No information is required to answer.
4. (d) Direction of movement of the trains are not given.
So, Data is not sufficient to answer.
5. (e)
Rakesh’s present age: (Sunil’s present age + 4)
= 5 : 7 ………(i)
Rakesh’s age -4 : Sunil’s present age = 2 : 3 ………..(ii)
\(\frac { \mathrm { R } } { \mathrm { S } + 4 } = \frac { 5 } { 7 }\)
7R = 5S + 20 .
7R – 5S = 20……..(i)
\(\frac { \mathrm { R } – 4 } { \mathrm { S } } = \frac { 2 } { 3 }\)
3R-12 = 2S
3R = 2S+12 ………(ii)
By solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
R=20
and S = 24
∴ Rakesh is 4 years younger than his brother Sunil.
6. (c)
By Statement-I
M : W = 27 : 13
So, in 80 litres of mixture contain
\(Quantity\quad of\quad milk\quad =\frac { 27 }{ 40 } \times 80=54litres\)
\(water\quad = \frac { 13 } { 40 } \times 80 = 26\)
By Statement-II
If 16 litres of mixture replaced by equal quantity of milk. Then in new mixture
\(Quantity\quad of\quad milk\quad =\frac { 4 }{ 5 } \times 80=64litres\)
\(Quantity\quad of\quad Water\quad =\frac { 1 }{ 5 } \times 80=16litres\)
Again by statement -1 Before mixing water,
Milk is 54 litres and water is 18 litres
Statement – II
Before mixing milk Milk is 48 litres and water is 16 litres
Ratio of milk of water in mixture, = 3 : 1
\(Quantity\quad of\quad milk\quad =\frac { 3 }{ 4 } \times 80=60litres\)
Concept Ratio of milk to water is always same in the mixture. It doesn’t depend on quantity of mixture drawn.
7. (a)
\(\Rightarrow \frac { 5 x \times 15 \times 2 } { 100 } – \left\{ 3 x \left( 1 + \frac { 20 } { 100 } \right) ^ { 2 } – 3 x \right\} – 900\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \frac { 3 x } { 2 } – \left\{ 3 x \times \frac { 36 } { 25 } – 3 x \right\} = 900\)
\(= \frac { 3 x } { 2 } – \left\{ \frac { 108 x – 75 x } { 25 } \right\} = 900\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \frac { 75 x – 66 x } { 50 } = 900 \Rightarrow 9 x = 900 \times 50\)
⇒ ∴ x = ₹ 5000
Amount invested in scheme
A = 3 × 5000 = 15000
8. (a)
Total time taken = 2h 15 min
Let speed of y be S km/h
Speed of x be 1.5 S km/h
\(Total\quad time\quad taken\quad =\frac { { Totaldistance } }{ { Totalspeed } } \)
\(2 \frac { 1 } { 4 } = \frac { 45 } { 2.5 S } \Rightarrow \frac { 9 } { 4 } = \frac { 45 } { 2.5 \mathrm { S } }\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \mathrm { S } = \frac { 45 } { 2.5 } \times \frac { 4 } { 9 }\)
∴ Speed of x = 1.5S
\(= 1.5 \times \frac { 45 } { 25 } \times \frac { 4 } { 9 } = 12 \mathrm { km } / \mathrm { h }\)
9. (e)
\(Height\quad = 50 \times \frac { 1 } { 4 } = 12.5\)
Perimeter = 2 (3x + 2x) = 50
⇒ x=5
So, area of two any adjacent walls = b × h + l × h = h(l + b)
Total cost of painting on wall = 12.5 × 25 × 450 = ₹ 140625
