From statement II:
Let the length and breadth of the rectangular field are 2x

From statement I:
The perimeter of the field = 2( 2x + x) = 30 meters
x = 30/6 = 5
Length = 2x = 2 x 5 = 10 m and Breadth = x = 5 m
Area of the rectangular field = 10 x 5 = 50m2
Hence the data in both statements I and II together are
necessary to answer the question
Length of train and platform are unknown.
Hence the data even in both statements together are not
sufficient to answer the question.

We cant say exactly in which direction Rohini is of Rohit.

The three possible directions are north-east, east and southeast. Thus I alone is not sufficient.
From II. Nothing is mentioned about Rohini and Rohit. So
II alone is not sufficient.
From III. There are two possibilities:
Raina, Rohit, Rohini
or Raina, Rohini, Rohit
So, we cant say the exact direction.
Thus, III alone is not sufficient.
From I and II. We cant find the directions.
From I and III. Rohini is to the east of Rohit.
172. 1; From I. Priya > Pooja and Punam
From II. Pinki > Padma > Priya and Pinki is not the
tallest.
From III. Pooja is not the shortest.
From I and II.
Pinki > Padma > Priya > Pooja, Punam. Since Pinki is not
the tallest, it must be Pushpa who is the tallest.
Thus, only I and II together are sufficient.
From II and III,
No definite relationship.
From I and III. We cant say who is the tallest as nothing
is mentioned about Pushpa, Pinki and Padma.

From III. According to Manishs brother, possible dates
are 17, 18, 19, 20, 21.
Combining I, II and III,
Possible dates are 17, 18
Thus, we cant find the exact date.
175. 2; From I. Tanuja didnt score the highest number of goals.
From II. Tanuja = Mohit = Karuna
From III. Mohit + Rinki + Karuna = 12 goals
Rinki = Mohit + Karuna
Rinki scored 6 goals and Mohit and Karuna together scored
6 goals.
From I and II,
We cant find how many goals Tanuja scored.
From II and III,
Mohit and Karuna together scored six goals.
Mohit + Karuna = 6
Tanuja = Mohit = Karuna = x
x+x=6
or x = 3
Tanuja scored three goals.
Thus, II and III together are sufficient.

So (1) is not true for the given condition.

Check for (2):

So, this is also not true.

Check for (4)

X>ZY<C
So, both conditions are true for this expression.

over non-diesel ones..
1; Since Honda is shifting its focus towards these compact
cars, the basic assumption is that Brio and Jazz will
complete in the Indian car market.
5; Since it has been mentioned that opposition parties tore
into the governments decision, it can be inferred that they
are not comfortable with the governments decision.
4; It is this assumption that has made the opposition parties
go on the offensive.
