Directions:For questions, Read the following information and answer the questions given below.
In a family gathering there are two males who are grandfathers and four males who are fathers. In the same gathering there are two females who are grandmothers and four females who are mothers. There is at least one grandson or a granddaughter present in this gathering. There are two husband wife pairs in this group. These can either be a grandfather and a grandmother, or a father and a mother. The single grandfather (whose wife is not present) has two grandsons and a son present. The single grandmother (whose husband is not present) has two grand daughters and a daughter present. A grandfather or a grandmother present with their spouses does not have any grandson or granddaughter present.
Count number of males and females
Males = 4 + 1 + 1 (4 fathers, 2 grandfathers are included in 2 fathers, 1 grandson, Husband/wife pairs are included, one more grandson)
Females = 4 + 1 + 1 (follow similar logic as for males)
There are 6 males and 6 females. Hence the minimum number of people present can be 6 + 6 = 12.

How old is Sachin in 1997?
Explanation: Anil’s age was a prime number in 1996 and 1998. So Anil’s age in these two yeas can be a pair of such numbers which are prime, and differ by 2. We have many such pairs - (3,5), (5, 7), (11, 13)….. And it is not possible to arrive at a unique answer. So the answer is (1).
Directions: Each question is followed by two statements. You have to decide whether the information provided the statements is sufficient for answering the question.
What is the profit percentage in the transaction?

From statement B alone MP = 20 & CP = 15
But as SP is not given, profit percent is cannot be determined.
