Hi,
I know it sounds silly but I wanted to have the following two basic concepts confirmed. Please post your responses.
Question Type 1
-------------------
Find x.
Statement 1: x-5 = 10
Statement 2: x+2 = 9
Now, obviously statement 1 and 2 are independently sufficient to solve for x. But here is my doubt: Since the two statements are giving two different values of x; 15 and 7 respectively, should the answer be [D] or [E]?
Question Type 2
-------------------
In case of yes/no questions, if statement 1 results in 'YES' whereas statement 2 results in 'NO', should the answer be [D] or [E]?
I think it should be [D] in both the cases above. However I am confused by the Manhattan Number Properties book (page 82) where it mentions that "The two statements can not contradict each other".
Please clarify.
