Question: How much money do Vivek and Suman have together ?

Statements:

  1. Suman has 20 rupees less than what Tarun has.
  2. Vivek has 30 rupees more than what Tarun has.

I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
Either I or II is sufficient
Neither I nor II is sufficient
Both I and II are sufficient
Answer: Option
Explanation:

From I, we have: S = T - 20.

From II, we have: V = T + 30.

Thus, from both I and II, we have: V + S = (T + 30) + (T - 20) = (2 T + 10).

So, to get the required amount, we need to know the amount that Tarun has.
