Option 1 : if the data given in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question whereas the data given in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
Statement I:
[ alt="DS October 2018 20 solutions R Hindirev images Q12a" src="//storage.googleapis.com/tb-img/production/19/02/DS_October_2018_20_solutions_R_Hindirev_images_Q12a.PNG" style="width: 428px; height: 71px;">
[ height="18" src="file:///C:/Users/UMESHK~1/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image001.png" width="2">Ashu and Manoj will meet for the first time at C which is 300 m from B as Ashu will cover 500m as the ratio of their speed is 5 ∶ 3
Now Manoj will change his direction and run towards B and Ashu will return towards A after reaching B and meet Manoj at D
⇒ (CB + BD) /CD = (300 + x) / (300 – x) = 5/3
⇒ 3(300 + x) = 5(300 – x)
⇒ 900 + 3x = 1500 – 5x
⇒ 8x = 600
⇒ x = 75 m
Manoj again will change his direction, and both will start running towards A to reach A and Ashu has to cover 725 m.
⇒ In same time Manoj will cover 725 × 3/5 = 435 m
⇒ When Ashu reaches A, Manoj will be 75 + 435 = 510 m from B
Statement (2): Case not possible
∴ Data given in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question whereas the data given in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question
