A Question is given followed by two Statements I and II. Consider the Questions and the Statements. Question: What is the time required to download the software? Statement-I: The size of the software is 12 megabytes. Statement-II: The transfer rate is 2.4 kilobytes per second. Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above Question and the Statements?
  1. The Question can be answered by using one of the Statements alone, but cannot be answered using the other Statement alone
  2. The Question can be answered by using either Statement alone
  3. The Question can be answered by using both the Statements together, but cannot be answered using either Statement alone
  4. The Question cannot be answered even by using both the Statements together

Solution

Neither statement alone is sufficient. Combining: Time = Size / Transfer rate = $12000 / 2.4$ kilobytes per second (since 1 megabyte = 1000 kilobytes) = 5000 seconds. Hence both statements together are required.
