This answer shows steps of becoming a team member that doesn't appear to be in training. It is describing ways to limit training times in meetings, and include that a new worker could benefit an existing team by making a list of ideas. Even if everyone is a veteran, I feel confident I can fit right in. I would prepare as much as I can by reading existing material to catch up on the project. I would plan for meetings by making a list of questions I have and finding the answers to these questions before the meeting. I would also create a list of ideas through the documents I have read. A fresh mind could help with creative solutions. I know that I would be required to study a lot in the beginning, but I would be able to do so at home or by working late in the office.

Answer : 4. "Both a and b sufficient"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Both a and b sufficient Explanation: Let the sum be Rs. x a. gives, S.I = Rs. 9000 and time = 9 years. b. gives, Sum + S.I for 6 years = 2 x Sum -->┬аSum = S.I for 6 years. Now, S.I for 9 years = Rs. 9000 S.I for 1 year = Rs. 9000/9 = Rs. 1000. S.I for 6 years = Rs. (1000 x 6)= Rs. 6000. --> x = Rs. 6000 Thus, both a and b are necessary to answer the question.
