The following questions are accompanied by three statements (I), (II), and (III). You have to determine which statements(s) is/are sufficient/necessary to answer the questions. Find the two-digit number? I. Difference between the two digits is 5. II. Product of two digits is 36. III. Total sum of two-digit number and twice of two-digit number is 282. Correct Answer Only III
Given:
Statement I: Difference between the two digits is 5.
Statement II: Product of two digits is 36.
Statement III: Total sum of two-digit number and twice of two-digit number is 282.
Calculation:
Let the two-digit number be 10A + B.
Statement I: Difference between the two digits is 5.
⇒ A – B = 5
But because it is not specified if A is greater or B is greater, we may also get
⇒ B – A = 5
Statement II: Product of two digits is 36.
⇒ AB = 36
Statement III: Total sum of two-digit number and twice of two-digit number is 282.
⇒ 10A + B + 2(10A + B) = 282
⇒ 10A + B + 20A + 2B = 282
⇒ 10A + B = 94
From the above statements, it is clear that
We can directly obtain the value of the two digit number from the statement III alone.
∴ Only III is our answer.
