Þ x= = 312.5 m/sec. We can get the required answer by this relation.

30. (d) Let the number of children be x ...(i)
38. (d) From all three statements, Seeta’s investment
From statement A we get, teacher’s age = x
From statement B we get, Average age of (x + 1) persons æ3 ö

31. (e) Savings of the man = ` 85000 ...(i) So data given in all three statements is required to
From statement A we get answer the question.
Monthly expenditure of the man for the first 4 months 39. (d) Let the marked price of the article be ` x.
From statement B we get From statement II.

A + F = 88900 ...(ii) Marked price = = ` 640
From statement B, we get 100
B + C = 95200 ...(iii) So statement II is sufficient to give the answer.
From (i), (ii) and (iii) also we cannot find D, because 40. (d) Let S1 and S2 be the speed of train A and B respectively
