Read the given question carefully and decide which of the following statement is/are sufficient to answer the question. What was the share of the picnic cost to be borne by each student? Statements: i. The total cost of the picnic was Rs. 12, 500, and the number of students who went for the picnic was 15. ii, If 3 fewer students would have gone, then the cost of the picnic per would have increased by Rs. 120. Correct Answer I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient.
i) The total cost of the picnic was Rs. 12, 500, and the number of students who went for the picnic was 15.
So, the share of the picnic cost to be borne by each student = Rs. (12500 ÷ 15) = Rs. 833.33
ii) If 3 fewer students would have gone, then the cost of the picnic per would have increased by Rs. 120.
The share of the picnic cost to be borne by each student cannot be calculated using this data.
Hence, I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient.
