What is the minimum passing percentage in a test? I. Raman scored 25% marks in the test and Sunil scored 288 marks which is 128 more than Raman. II. Raman scored 64 marks less than the minimum passing marks
A) If the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question
B) If the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question
C) If the data in either statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question
D) If the data in both the statements I and, II are not sufficient to answer the question
E) If the data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
Correct Answer: E
$ \therefore $ Maximum marks $ =\frac{160\times 100}{25}=640 $ From .statement II, Minimum passing marks $ =160+64=224 $
$ \therefore $ Minimum passing percentage $ =\frac{224}{640}\times 100=35 $ % Hence, the data in both the statements are necessary to answer the question.
