Q1: Question: How many speeches were delivered in the two days' programme ? Statements:
  1. 18 speakers were invited to give at least one speech (maximum of two speech), out of which one-sixth of the speakers could not come.
  2. One-third of the speakers gave two speeches each.

A I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient

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:E - Both I and II are sufficient

Explanation: From I, we find that number of speakers who attended programme =18-(1/6) of 18 = 15. From II, we find that one-third of 15 i.e. 5 speakers gave 2 speeches each, while each of the remaining 10 speakers delivered only one speech. So, total number of speeches delivered = (5 x 2 + 10 x 1) = 20.
