The question below is followed by two statements I and II. You have to determine whether the data given is sufficient for answering the question. You should use the data and your knowledge of mathematics to choose the best possible answer. Rakesh distributed 39 rupees to five of his friends A, B, C, D and E in integral form. Find how much money was received by C. I. A and B received total 7 rupees. II. Value of C, D and E are in arithmetic progression. Correct Answer If both the statements together are not sufficient to answer the question.
From statement I
⇒ C + D + E = 39 – 7
⇒ C + D + E = 32
From statement II
Let C received a, D received (a + d) and E received (a + 2d).
From statement I and statement II
⇒ a + a + d + a + 2d = 32
⇒ 3a + 3d = 32
Now, there is no further information about a and d.
∴ Both the statements together are not sufficient to answer the question.
