A question and three statement labeled (I), (II) and (III) are given. You have to decide which statement(s) is/are sufficient to answer the question. Find out the minimum number of nurses needed by the hospital. Statements : I : There are three shifts round the clock. II : There are thirteen wards requiring two nurses per shift. III : The town needs at least three nurses per thousand population. Correct Answer Both statements I and II are sufficient.
From Statement (i) There are three shifts round the clock - We get to know the total number of shifts is 3.
From Statement (ii) There are thirteen wards requiring two nurses per shift - we get to know about the minimum number of nurses required in each shift that is 2.
From Statement (iii) The town needs at least three nurses per thousand population - It is mentioning about the number of nurses required per thousand population ,which is not needed for this question.
After combining the statement I and II :- 2 × 3 = 6.
So, The first two statements are sufficient to answer.
Hence, the correct answer is "Both statements I and II are sufficient".
