Question: What is the total of five natural even numbers?
Statements:
I. The second number is two times the first number.
II. All the five even numbers are consecutive even numbers in increasing order.
The problem asks us to find the total of five natural even numbers given two statements.
Understanding the Statements:
-
Statement I: "The second number is two times the first number."
- This tells us the relationship between the first and second numbers but does not provide specific values or the relationship between all five numbers.
-
Statement II: "All the five even numbers are consecutive even numbers in increasing order."
- This indicates that the numbers follow a specific pattern (consecutive even numbers like 2, 4, 6, etc.), but without knowing one of the numbers, we cannot find their total.
Evaluating the Statements Separately:
- Statement I Alone: Does not provide us with enough information to find the total since we only know about two numbers.
- Statement II Alone: Although we know the numbers are consecutive, we need at least one specific value to determine the sequence, thus making it insufficient as well.
Using Both Statements Together:
-
By combining both statements, we know:
- The second number is twice the first, for example, if the first number is 2, then the sequence of numbers following Statement II would be 2, 4, 6, 8, 10.
- This allows us to determine that the series and their sum would be 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 = 30.
Hence, both statements together are necessary to find the total of the five numbers.
Conclusion: The correct answer is "Both the Statements together are necessary to answer the Question."
