II. The series starts with the number 9.
A :
If statement I alone is needed to draw the conclusion.
B :
If statement II alone is needed to draw the conclusion.
C :
If both the statements I and II are needed to draw the conclusion.
D :
If the given data is not sufficient to draw the conclusion.
Answer: C The nth term of the arithmetic series = a+ (n-1)d Where, a is the first term and d is the difference. Statement I :- d= 11 Statement II :- a =9 1348 = 9 + (n-1)11 => n = 1350/11 = A fractional number. As, we do not get a whole number value for n by using both the statements together, we can conclude that 1348 does not belong to the given series.
