Question

What is the present age of the mother ?
A. Father’s age is eight years more than the mother’s age.Father got married at the age of 28 years.
B. Present age of the father is 30 years. Four years back the ratio of mother’s age to father’s age was 12 : 13.
This consists of question and two statements numbered A and B. Decide whether the data provided in the statement(s) aresufficient/necessary to answer the question.

• A. If the data in statement B alone are sufficient to answer the question while the data in statement A alone are not sufficient to answer the question.
• B. If the data in statement A alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement B alone are not sufficient to answer the question.
• C. If the data either in statements A alone or in statement B alone are sufficient to answer the question.
• D. If the data in both the statements A and B together are not sufficient to answer the question.

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

If the data in statement B alone are sufficient to answer the question while the data in statement A alone are not sufficient to answer the question.

Answer 2

The correct option is (A): If the data in statement B alone are sufficient to answer the question while the data in statement A alone are not sufficient to answer the question.
Reason: Statement B provides the present age of the father and the age ratio from four years ago, which allows us to calculate the mother's present age. Statement A alone does not provide sufficient information to determine the mother's age.
