The question is followed by two statements I and II. Mark:
(a) if the question can be answered by any one of the statements alone, but cannot be answered by using the other statement alone.
(b) if the question can be answered by using either statement alone.
(c) if the question can be answered by using both the statements together, but cannot be answered by using either statement alone.
(d) if the question cannot be answered even by using both the statements together.

Find a pair of real numbers x and y that satisfy the following two equations simultaneously. It is known that the values of a, b, c, d, e and f are non-zero.
ax + by = c
dx + ey = f
I. a = kd and b = ke, c = kf, k ≠ 0
II. a = b = 1, d = e = 2, f ≠ 2c

 P is a region containing points (x,y) such that the distance of all the points in that region from the Origin is less than 6. Find the number of points having integral co-ordinates in the region P??


Consider the set P = {-5, -3, -1, 1, 3, 5,7,9....} consisting of 1998 numbers. If 'a' be the average of the elements in P and 'b' be twice the average of the first 1998 natural numbers, then which of the following is equal to (a - b)?

Average of 5 natural nos is 150.One particular no. exceeds another by 100 and rest 3 are equal and lie b/w these 2 nos.. Find the no. of values the largest number can take??

A thief is running at speed of 10 m/sec. A police van is 5000 meters behind him and chasing him at speed of 20m/sec. At this instant police also release a dog which keeps on running to-and-fro between thief and police van at speed of 30m/sec till thief gets caught. a. Find the total distance travelled by dog. b. Find the total distance travelled by dog in forward direction.( Assume direction of thief to be forward direction)
