Question: What will be the total weight of 10 poles, each of the same weight?

Statements:

I. One-fourth of the weight of each pole is 5 kg.

II. The total weight of three poles is 20 kilograms more than the total weight of two poles.

I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient

II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient

Either I or II is sufficient

Neither I nor II is sufficient

Both I and II are sufficient

View Solution

Answer :

From I, we conclude that weight of each pole = (4x5) kg = 20 kg.

So, total weight of 10 poles = (20 x 10) kg = 200 kg.

From II, we conclude that:

Weight of each pole = (weight of 3 poles) - (weight of 2 poles) = 20 kg.

So, total weight of 10 poles = (20 x 10) kg = 200 kg.

From I, total sale of product A = Rs. (8000 x 25) = Rs. 200000.

From II, we know that the company deals only in product A.

This implies that sale of product A is the total sale of the company, which is Rs. 200000.
