The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two statements provided and determine if either one is sufficient to answer the question: "What is the age of Rahul after 2 years?" ### Step 1: Analyze Statement I **Statement I:** The average age of Arun and Neeraj is 24 years, and the ratio of the age of Rahul to Arun is 2:3. 1. From the average age of Arun and Neeraj, we can find the total age of both: \[ \text{Average} = \frac{\text{Age of Arun} + \text{Age of Neeraj}}{2} = 24 \] Therefore, \[ \text{Age of Arun} + \text{Age of Neeraj} = 24 \times 2 = 48 \text{ years} \] 2. Let the age of Arun be \( A \) and the age of Neeraj be \( N \). Thus, we have: \[ A + N = 48 \] 3. The ratio of Rahul's age \( R \) to Arun's age \( A \) is given as: \[ \frac{R}{A} = \frac{2}{3} \implies R = \frac{2}{3}A \] 4. We can substitute \( R \) in terms of \( A \) into the equation: \[ R + A + N = R + 48 \] We can find \( R \) if we find \( A \) or \( N \). 5. However, we still need to express \( A \) or \( N \) in terms of a single variable to find \( R \). ### Conclusion for Statement I: Statement I alone does not provide enough information to determine Rahul's age because we cannot isolate Rahul's age without knowing either Arun's or Neeraj's age specifically. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement II **Statement II:** Neeraj is 4 years older than Satish, and the ratio of the age of Satish to Rahul is 1:2. 1. Let the age of Satish be \( S \). Then Neeraj's age \( N \) can be expressed as: \[ N = S + 4 \] 2. The ratio of Satish's age \( S \) to Rahul's age \( R \) is given as: \[ \frac{S}{R} = \frac{1}{2} \implies R = 2S \] 3. Now we can express Neeraj's age in terms of Rahul's age: \[ N = S + 4 = \frac{R}{2} + 4 \] 4. Substituting \( R = 2S \) into the equation gives us: \[ N = S + 4 = S + 4 \] This does not help us isolate \( R \) directly. ### Conclusion for Statement II: Statement II alone also does not provide enough information to determine Rahul's age because we need to know either Satish's or Neeraj's age specifically. ### Final Conclusion: Both statements I and II are not sufficient alone to determine Rahul's age after 2 years. ### Answer: The answer is that neither statement alone is sufficient.
