A question and three statements labeled (I), (II) and (III) are given. You have to decide which statement(s) is/are sufficient to answer the question. What is Surya's age? I. Surya and his sister are the only children in Ramesh's home. II. Surya's sister is elder to him by 5 years. III. Surya's sister just turned 15 this year. Correct Answer II and III are sufficient.

Statement 1-: Surya and his sister are the only children in Ramesh's home.

It means there are only two children in Ramesh's home. Nothing mentioned about their ages.

Statement 2-: Surya's sister is elder to him by 5 years.

It means if we have Surya's age then we can find his sister's age or if we have sister's age then we can find Surya's age.

Statement 3-: Surya's sister just turned 15 this year.

Here Surya's sister age is given.

By combining Statement 2, 3 we can say that Surya's age is 5 years less than his sister, and sister's age given is 15. So Surya's age is 10.

Hence, Statement 2,3 are sufficient.
