Instruction: Each problem consists of a question followed by two statements. Decide whether the data in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. Dipu (D) is 15 years older than his brother Enam (E). \((D = E + 15)\). How old is Dipu? (1) Twenty years ago, Dipu's age was twice that of Enam. (2) Ten years later, Enam's age will be \(\frac{3}{4}\) (assuming the symbol is a typo for a fraction like \(\frac{3}{4}\) or the solution is based on the logic of sufficiency) that of Dipu.
A. statement (1) alone is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient to answer the question
B. statement (2) alone is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient to answer the question
C. both statements taken together are sufficient to answer the question, but neither statement alone is sufficient
D. each statement alone is sufficient
E. statements (1) and (2) together are not sufficient, and additional data is needed to answer the question.
Explanation: (D) Given \(D = E + 15\). (1) 20 years ago: \(D - 20 = 2(E - 20)\). Substitute E = D - 15: \(D - 20 = 2(D - 15 - 20) \implies D - 20 = 2D - 70 \implies D = 50\). (1) alone is sufficient. (2) 10 years later: \(E + 10 = \frac{3}{4}(D + 10)\) (assuming the typo means \(\frac{3}{4}\)). Substitute E = D - 15: \((D - 15) + 10 = \frac{3}{4}(D + 10) \implies D - 5 = \frac{3}{4}D + \frac{15}{2} \implies \frac{1}{4}D = \frac{10+15}{2} = \frac{25}{2} \implies D = 50\). (2) alone is sufficient (assuming a ratio can be formed). Therefore, each statement alone is sufficient.
