Read the following question and decide which of the statements is sufficient/necessary to answer the question.Question:If positive, what is the value of X/4Y?Statement:1. Y = 3X2. X = 51. Both 1 and 2 together are sufficient.2. 1 alone is sufficient, while 2 alone is not sufficient.3. Both statements alone are sufficient.4. 2 alone is sufficient, while 1 alone is not sufficient.

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 1 alone is sufficient, while 2 alone is not sufficient.

Statement 1:

We get:

Y = 3X

⇒ X/Y = 1/3

Now, we can obtain the value of X/4Y, by simply multiplying the denominator Y by 4

⇒ X/(4 × Y) = 1/(4 × 3) = 1/12

Hence, Statement 1 can be used alone.

Statement 2:

We get X = 5.

But there is nothing mentioned, using which we can get the value of Y, and hence, the value of X/4Y.

Hence, Statement 2 cannot be used alone.

∴ Statement 1 alone is sufficient, while Statement 2 alone is not sufficient.
