- (A) If the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question
- (B) If the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question
- (C) If the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question
- (D) If the data given in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question and
- (E) If the data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
Question: On which day in April is Gautam's birthday?
Statements:
- Gautam was born exactly 28 years after his mother was born.
- His mother will be 55 years 4 months and 5 days on August 18 this year.
Clearly, the birthday of Gautam's mother can be found out from II and then Gautam's birthday can be determined using the fact given in I.
Question: What is the code for 'is' in the code language ?
Statements:
- In the code language, 'shi tu ke' means 'pen is blue'.
- In the same code language, 'ke si re' means 'this is wonderful'.
In I and II, the common word is 'is' and the common code word is 'ke'. So, 'ke' is the code for 'is'.
Question: Among A, B, C, D and E, who is in the middle while standing in a row ?
Statements:
- C, who is third to the left of D, is to the immediate right of A and second to the left of E.
- C is second to the left of E, who is not at any of the ends and who is third to the right of A. D is at one of the ends.
From each one of I and II, we get the order : A, C, B, E, D. Clearly, B is in the middle.
Question: Among A, B, C, D, E and F, who is the heaviest ?
Statements:
- A and D are heavier than B, E and F but none of them is the heaviest.
- A is heavier than D but lighter than C.
From I, we conclude that since none of A and D is the heaviest and each one of B, E and F is lighter than both A and D, so C is the heaviest.
