   II. Kirti correctly remembers that Bhawna took more than 9 days but less than 15 days to complete the work.
   
   Answer & Explanation

   (E) If the data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
   Explanation: 
   From I : 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 or 9 or 10 days
   From II : 10 or 11 or 12 or 13 or 14 days
   From both statements, only 10 is common in them, so Bhawna took 10 days which is predicted from bot statements.
2. What is A’s position from the right end in a row of 30 students?

   Answer & Explanation

   (A) If the data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.
   Explanation: 
   From I : B is at 12th position from right, A is third to right of B, so A is 9th from right end.
   From II : H is at 14th position from right, with 8 students in between A and H – it is not sure than A is left of H or right of H, so A’s position cant be predicted.
3. What is the code of ‘7’ in a certain code? 
   I. ‘734’ stands for ‘DH%’ and ‘348’ stands for ‘D*%’ in that code.
   II. ‘127’ stands for ‘H*$’ and ‘375’ stands for ‘&@H’ in that code.
   
   Answer & Explanation

   (C) If the data either in statement I alone or statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
   Explanation: 
   From I : code for ‘7’ is %
   From II : code for ‘7’ is %
   So it can be predicted from both alone.
4. How many floors does the building have (including ground floor)? 
   I. There are 3 families in the building and no two families live immediately above or below each other.
   II. The area in which building is built has a rule that a building cannot have more than 4 floors (including ground floor).
   
   Answer & Explanation

   (E) If the data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
   Explanation: 
   From I : Suppose 1 family stays on ground floor, then the other should be on 2nd floor, and then third family on 4th floor, or there can be any other arrangement such no two families are on adjacent floors.
   From II : Maximum of 4 floors means that the building can have 0 or 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 floors.
   But if both statements are combined, which says that there are 3 families and they do not stay on alternate floors and maximum can be 4 floors, it is predicted that there are 4 floors in this building.

   II. Point P is 6 km towards the West of point K.
   
   Answer & Explanation

   (E) If the data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
   Explanation: 
   From I :
   From I and II :
   So PY = √62+62
   So PQ = 2*PY
6. How is A related to B? 
   I. B is the only brother of R, whose father is Q.
   II. A is the only son of G, who is only sister of R.
