Question



Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): One-fourth of sixty percent of a number is equal to two-fifth of twenty percent of another number. Then the respective ratio of the first number to the second number is 8:15.
Statement (II): A student is studying for a test from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm on weekdays and one-third of that time on Saturday. On Sunday, he takes a break and goes for a movie. The fractional part of the entire week that the student is studying is 3/7.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

A.

Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are true

B.

Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are false

C.

Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false

D.

Statement (I) is false but Statement (II) is true

Correct option is C

Given,
One-fourth of sixty percent of a number is equal to two-fifth of twenty percent of another number. Suppose that the numbers are x and y.
According to the given condition,
x/4×60/100=2y/5×20/100
60x/400=40y/500
xy=8/15
Hence, the statement 1 is correct.
Now statement 2,
Total hours in one week,
24 × 7 = 168 hours
There are total 9 hours between 11 : 00 am to 8 : 00 pm.
So, total hours he studies in one week,
(9 × 5) + [9 × (1/3)] = 48 hours
So, the fractional part of the entire week that the student is studying = 48 / 168 = 4 / 14
Therefore, the second statement is also incorrect.
So, Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false
