Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven statements:
Statement 1 - The book has 300 pages out of which two-thirds were read by her before Sunday.
Here, information related to number of pages read before Sunday is given but number of pages read on Sunday cannot be determined. Therefore, statement 1 alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
Statement 2 - Sania read the last 40 pages of the book on the morning of Monday.
Here, information related to number of pages read on Monday is given but number of pages read on Sunday cannot be determined. Therefore, statement 2 alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
Combining statement 1 and 2: The book has 300 pages out of which two-thirds were read by her before Sunday. Sania read the last 40 pages of the book on the morning of Monday.
Book has pages = 300
Number of pages read before Sunday = 300 × 2 ÷ 3 → 200
Number of (last/left) pages read on Monday → 40
Number of pages read on Sunday = (300 - 200 - 40) → 60
Therefore, statement 2 alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.
