Option 5 : If the data in both statements I and II together are needed to answer the question.

Let the number of students who went to meseum by bus, train and car be 5x, 14x and 8x

Using statement I

Let the total number of female students be y

Then, total number of male students = y + 45

All the female went to the museum by train only and 30 males went by train

∴ Number of students who went to the mesuem by train = y + 30

Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question

 

Using statement II

Total number of males who went to the museum by bus and car is 195.  

Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question

 

Using statement I and statement II together

Total number of male students = y + 45

30 male students travelled by train 

∴ Number of male students who travelled by bus and car

⇒ y + 45 – 30 = 195

⇒ y = 180 

∴ Number of students who went to the mesuem by train = y + 30 = 180 + 30 = 210

⇒ 14x = 210 

⇒ x = 15

∴ Number of students who went to museum by car = 8x = 8 × 15 = 120

∴ The data in both statements I and II together are needed to answer the question.
