Question

  1. 6 pencils and 4 rulers cost 16 rupees.
  2. 3 pencils and 2 rulers cost 8 rupees.
  3. 4 pencils and 6 rulers cost 24 rupees.

If the first two statements are true, the third statement is:

A

true.

B

false.

C

uncertain.

D

None.

Soln.
Ans: c

We cannot calculate the price of one pencil and one ruler from the statements 1 and 2, so nothing can be said about the 3rd statement.
