You are given a question and two statements. Identify which of the statements is/are sufficient to answer the question. Question: Nayan has 4 caps of 3 different colours. How many blue caps does he have? Statements: 1. Nayan has 2 white caps. 2. The number of blue caps he has is the same as that of beige caps. Correct Answer Statements 1 and 2 together are sufficient.
From statement 1, we get the information that 2 out of the 4 caps of 3 different colourswith Nayan are white. But this data is not sufficient to answer the given question.
From statement 2, we understand that the number of blue caps cannot be 2 or more.
For if there were 2 or more blue caps, then there would be 2 or more biege caps, which contradicts the fact that Nayan has 4 caps of 3 different caps.
Therefore, we can conclude that Nayan has 1 blue cap and 1 biege cap from statement 2.
Hence, Statements 1 and 2 together are sufficient.
