Question: Direction: Each question is followed by two statements, I and II. Mark the answer as
1. if the question cannot be answered even with the help of both the statements taken together.
2. if the question can be answered by any one of the two statements.
3. if each statement alone is sufficient to answer the question, but not the other one (e.g. statement I alone is required to answer the question, but not statement II and vice versa).
4. if both statements I and II together are needed to answer the question.
What is the cost price of the article?
I. After selling the article, a loss of 25% on cost price is incurred.
II. The selling price is three-fourths of the cost price.
Both the statements are telling the same, that selling price is 75% of cost price.
So we cannot determine the actual cost of the article.
