The following question is accompanied by three statements (I), (II), and (III). You have to determine which statements(s) is/are sufficient/necessary to answer the questions. What are the marks scored by Ram in Maths? Statement I. Marks scored by Ram in English is more than his marks in Science by 20. Statement II. Total marks scored by Ram in English, Science, and Maths are 197. Statement III. Marks scored by Ram in Science is more than his marks in Maths by 12. Correct Answer The data in all statements I, II, and III together are necessary to answer the question.
Calculation:
For Statement I and III:
Let the marks in Maths = x
Marks in science = x + 12
Marks is English = x + 32
For statement III:
⇒ Maths + Science + English = 197
⇒ x + x + 12 + x + 32 = 197
⇒ 3x + 44 = 197
⇒ 3x = 197 – 44
⇒ 3x = 153
⇒ x = 51
∴ marks in Maths is 51
All the Statements together are sufficient.
