The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two statements provided and see if they give us enough information to find the value of \( x \). ### Step 1: Analyze Statement I The first statement says that 20% of \( x \) is equal to the \( \frac{1}{5} \) part of another number. We can express this mathematically: \[ 0.20 \cdot x = \frac{1}{5} \cdot n \] Where \( n \) is the other number. ### Step 2: Simplify Statement I We know that 20% can be written as a fraction: \[ 0.20 = \frac{20}{100} = \frac{1}{5} \] Thus, we can rewrite the equation: \[ \frac{1}{5} \cdot x = \frac{1}{5} \cdot n \] ### Step 3: Eliminate the Fraction Multiplying both sides of the equation by 5 to eliminate the fraction gives us: \[ x = n \] ### Step 4: Analyze Statement II The second statement states that \( \frac{7}{20} \) of \( x \) is equal to 35% of another number. We can express this mathematically: \[ \frac{7}{20} \cdot x = 0.35 \cdot m \] Where \( m \) is another number. ### Step 5: Simplify Statement II We know that 35% can also be expressed as a fraction: \[ 0.35 = \frac{35}{100} = \frac{7}{20} \] Thus, we can rewrite the equation: \[ \frac{7}{20} \cdot x = \frac{7}{20} \cdot m \] ### Step 6: Eliminate the Fraction Multiplying both sides of the equation by 20 to eliminate the fraction gives us: \[ 7x = 7m \] ### Step 7: Simplify Further Dividing both sides by 7 gives us: \[ x = m \] ### Step 8: Combine Information From Statement I, we have \( x = n \) and from Statement II, we have \( x = m \). However, since \( n \) and \( m \) are different variables representing different numbers, we cannot determine a unique value for \( x \) without additional information about either \( n \) or \( m \). ### Conclusion Since neither statement alone provides enough information to determine \( x \), and combining both statements does not eliminate the variables \( n \) and \( m \), we conclude that the data given in both statements is not sufficient to find the value of \( x \). ### Final Answer The correct option is D: The data given in both statements is not sufficient to find the value of \( x \). ---
