What is the total weight of 10 identical poles? Statement I: one quarter of a pole’s weight is 5 kg. Statement II: the 10 poles weigh 160 kg more than two poles.
Statement I alone is not sufficient. Statement II alone is not sufficient. Either I or II alone is sufficient. Both statements together are not sufficient. Practise this question in The GATE Grind →
Show answer and explanation Correct answer: (C) Either I or II alone is sufficient.
Explanation Statement I fixes each pole at 4×5=20 kg, so the ten weigh 200 kg. It is sufficient alone.
Independently, Statement II gives 10w−2w=160, hence w=20 kg and the same total 200 kg. Therefore either statement alone determines the answer: **C**.
