Anurag Kumar  (8 years ago) Best Solution

1 Ans. Statement ii is only sufficient to give the answer, ie tha value of p is: 6
As p & q both are positive integer & p>q and pq=24
There are 4 possibilities in which pq=24 and p>q as given below
p *q=24
24*1=24
12*2=24
8*3=24
6*4=24
If we consider only 1st Statement ie p/q is integer then then there is two ans 24*1 , 12*2
but in Data sufficiency problem there must be only 1 Solution
So Statement 1 is not able to ans.
If we consider statement 2nd ie q/3 is integer then there is only 1 answer is possible ie 8*3
means p=8 & q=3;
So Only 2nd but not 1st statement is sufficient to ans the value of P

2. both statement i & ii together can sufficient to give the number of children older than 5
Suppose we consider 3 children which are less than 5 or equals to 5 years which get gifts &
6 children which are older than 5 year , which get 5 gifts
ie (6*3)+(5*6)=48
so Number of children older than 5 years are 6 children

1. only statement ii is required

2. Cannot be answered using both the statements as:-
(6*3) + (5*6)=48
(6*8)=48

hence, either 3 or 0 children older than 5.

@Anurag Kumar. It's nothing, just the one that if one answer is selected as the best, the other answer could not be selected.
