Question

There were 54 members of a cooperative society. How many members attended the recent Annual General Meeting (AGM) ?
I. Normally two-third members attend the meeting.
II. One-sixth of the members were out of the town on AGM's day.
This questions has a problem and two statements numbered I and II given certain information. Decide if the information given in the statements is sufficient for answering the problem. Mark the answer :

• A. if the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question
• B. if the data either in I or II alone are sufficient to answer the question
• C. if the data even in both the statement together are not sufficient to answer the question
• D. if the data in both the statements I and II are needed to answer the question

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

if the data even in both the statement together are not sufficient to answer the question

Answer 2

The first statement gives an approximate number, not the exact count of people who attended the meeting, making it insufficient.
Similarly, the second statement mentions that 9 members were out of town, but we still don’t know how many of the remaining members attended. Even when combining both statements, we cannot determine the exact number of attendees, so together they are still insufficient.

So, the correct option is (C): if the data even in both the statement together are not sufficient to answer the question.
