Data Sufficiency

The data sufficiency chapter is very important chapter which is given most of the exams. which also covers most of the chapters of reasoning, like mathematical calculations chapter, blood relation, coding and decoding chapters etc. Here is data are provided which are sufficient and possible to determine right answer from the given information.

Before solving the problem we need to understand the definition of data sufficiency. Remember that in data sufficiency problems we are not interested in getting the answer for the question. we have to analyze the given data and also decide that the given data are sufficient or not.

In data sufficiency question will be asked and there will be two statements . There will be five answer options. 

Each question given below has a problem and two statement numbered I and II giving certain information. You have to decide if the information given in the statements is sufficient for the answer the problem.

Here is your answer as:

  • A If the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question;
  • B If the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question;
  • C If the data either in I or II alone are sufficient to answer the question;
  • D If the data even in both the statement together are not sufficient to answer the question;
  • E If the data in both the statement together are sufficient to answer the question;

 

Example #1

When is Rajesh’s birthday this year ?

I. It is between February 11 and 13, February 11 is being monday.
II. Its not on Thursday.
Explanation : In statement I we can say that Rajesh birthday is on February 12, that is Tuesday. So,the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question.

Example #2

A, B, C and D are four friends. Who among them is the heaviest ?

I. B is heavier than A and D but lighter than C.
II. A is lighter than B and C but heavier than D.
Explanation : From I we have B > A, B>D, C>B.
From II we have, A>D, B>A, C>B
Combining the above two, we have, C>B>A>D

Example #3

What is Gita’s age ?

I. Gita, Bijoy and Kiran are all of the same age.
II. Total age of Bijoy, Kiran and Amar is 32 and Amar is as old as Bijoy and Kiran together.
Explanation :  Im statement I and II, we have G = B = K, B + K + A = 32 and A = B + K.
Putting B + K = A in second , We get 2A = 32 or A = 16
So, B + K = 16 and B = K.
So, B = K = 8.
Thus, R = 8. So, are needed.

Example #4

Among four friends Mina, Sonali, Nita and Komal, who is the heaviest?
I. Sonali is heavier than Mina, but lighter than Komal.
II.  Nita is lighter than Sonali.
Explanation :
From I, we have Mina<Sonali<Komal.
From II, we have Nita<Sonali.
So, Combining (i) and (ii), we can conclude that Komal is the heaviest. So, both the statement are needed.
