    Direction: Each of the questions below consists of a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. Read both the statements and give answer
    What is the distance between City X and City Y? I.                M and L started simultaneously from X and Y respectively at their own speeds in the ratio of 6 : 7. II.               M reaches X one hour earlier than L reaches Y. The difference between the speeds of L and M is 15 kmph.            

    A)              if the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question.          

    B)              if the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.          

    C)              if the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.          

    D)              if the data in both statement I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.          

    E)  if the data in both statement I and II together are necessary to answer the question.

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

    From I and II. Let the speed of L be 6x and that of M be 7x. Then, 7x - 6x = 15 kmph Now, speed of L = 6 \[\times \]15 = 90 kmph M =7 \[\times \]15 = 105 kmph \[\therefore \] Distance between X and Y = Z km Now, \[\frac{Z}{90}-\frac{Z}{105}=1\] or, \[\frac{7Z-6Z}{630}=1\] or, Z = 630 km
