The given answer to question 115 is wrong. It must be 3

Question:
DIRECTIONS: In each of the following questions, a question is followed by information given in two statements. You have to study the question along with the statements and decide, the information given in which of the statements (s) is necessary to answer the question?
If Varun and Sameer together completed a project in 25 days and earned Rs.5000, then what is Sameer’s share?

 I. Working individually, Sameer takes thrice the time taken by Varun to complete the project.

II. Varun alone can complete the project in 40 days.

Options:
A) If the question can be answered by using statement I alone but not by using statement II alone
B) If the question can be answered by using statement II alone but not by using statement I alone
C) If the question can be answered by using either of the statements alone
D) If the question can be answered by using both the statements together but not by either of the statements alone
E) If the question cannot be answered even by using both the statements together
Solution:
Ans (b) From statement I, we have the ratio of efficiencies of Varun and Sameer as 1:3. Therefore, we can find the share of Sameer in Rs.5000. Statement I alone is sufficient.

From statement II, we can get Sameer’s share. The two persons’ individual and combined efficiencies and times taken are tabulated below.


∴ Sameer’s salience is (3/8)(5000) = 1875.

We can answer the question using statement II alone
