You should use the given data and your knowledge of Mathematics to choose between the possible answers. What will be the value of P, where N = 2P347. I. N is a multiple of 3. II. N is a multiple of 7.
Given below is a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements is sufficient to answer the question. You should use the given data and your knowledge of Mathematics to choose between the possible answers. What will be the value of P, where N = 2P347. I. N is a multiple of 3. II. N is a multiple of 7. Correct Answer The data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
From statement I :
N is a multiple of 3. So, sum of digits should be multiple of 3.
⇒ 16 + P is a multiple of 3
⇒ P could be 2, 5 or 8, and cannot be found uniquely.
∴ Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
From statement II :
N is a multiple of 7.
Possible values of N is only 25347, which is divisible by 7. So, P = 5.
∴ Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
