Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Only 1 is sufficient. Given: p : p2 :: p2 : 1000 p2 + 2pn + n2 = 21 Calculation: From statement 1 p/p2 = p2/1000 ⇒ 1/p = p2/1000 ⇒ p3 = 1000 ⇒ p = 10 From statement 1, we can find the value of p From statement 2 We can't find the value of p because we can't get the value of two variable from one equation ∴ Only 1 is sufficient |
