Q1: Question: How many doctors are practising in this town ? Statements:
  1. There is one doctor per seven hundred residents.
  2. There are 16 wards with each ward having as many doctors as the number of wards.

B II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient

C Either I or II is sufficient

D Neither I nor II is sufficient

E Both I and II are sufficient

ANS:B - II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient

Explanation: From I, total number of doctors in town = (1/700 x N) , where N = total number of residents in town. But, the value of N is not known. From II, total number of doctors in town = (Number of wards in town) x (Number of doctors in each ward) = 16 x 16 = 256.
