Question
Data Interpretation Question on Statements and Assumptions
In this question, you are given two statements. To answer this question, you can use one or both the statements.
N is an integer between 1 and 93. What is the value of N?
A. N is both the square and the cube of an integer.
B. The square root of N is divisible by 8.
If statement A ALONE is sufficient to answer the given question, but statement B alone is not.
If statement B ALONE is sufficient to answer the given question, but statement A alone is not.
If both the statements TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the given question, but neither statement alone is sufficient.
If both the statements are INDEPENDENTLY sufficient to answer the given question.
If both the statements are INDEPENDENTLY sufficient to answer the given question.
Solution
(A): Perfect squares between 1 and 93 = 1,4,9,16,25,36,49,64,81
Perfect cubes between 1 and 93 = 1,8,27,64
Possible values of N = 1, 64
Thus, first statement alone is not sufficient.
(B): Number of square roots between 1 and 93 = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
Now, since it is divisible by 8, only one possible value of N exists,
∴ Statement B alone is sufficient.
The correct answer is (D) : If both the statements are INDEPENDENTLY sufficient to answer the given question.
