Question

How old is Sachin in $1997?$

1. Sachin is $11$ years younger than Anil whose age will be prime number in $1998$.

2. Anil’s age was a prime number in $1996$.

• A. if both the statements together are insufficient to answer the question.
• B. if any one of the two statements is sufficient to answer the question.
• C. if each statement alone is sufficient to answer the question.
• D. if both the statements together are sufficient to answer the question, but neither statement alone is sufficient.

Answer 1

1) Using Statement (1), We cannot find the age of Sachin in 1997.NOT SUFFICIENT

2) Using Statement (2), We cannot find the age of Sachin in 1997 ;NOT SUFFICIENT

taking 1 and  2  together Since range of prime numbers is not given, we cannot calculate the age of Sachin even using both the statement together ;NOT SUFFICIENT

Statement (1) and Statement(2) together is not sufficient.

Hence option A is correct.
