Determining an individual's rank from the bottom given overlapping criteria
Question
A Question is given followed by two Statements I and II. Consider the Question 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.
Options
The Question can be answered by using one of the Statements alone, but cannot be answered using the other Statement alone
The Question can be answered by using either Statement alone
The Question can be answered by using both the Statements together, but cannot be answered using either Statement alone
The Question cannot be answered even by using both the Statements together
Explanation
To solve for downloading time, apply the standard linear rate formula: Time = Total Size{Transfer Rate}.
Statement I provides only the payload size (12 megabytes). Insufficient. Statement II provides only the network speed (2.4 kilobytes per second). Insufficient.
Combining both statements allows us to solve the formula directly by converting megabytes to kilobytes (12 × 1024 KB or 12 × 1000 KB) and dividing by 2.4[cite: 2074, 2076]. A definitive numerical answer can be computed, meaning both statements are necessary together.
Answer: (c).
