Question: Who among P, Q, T, V and M is exactly in the middle when they are arranged in ascending order of their heights ?

Statements:

  1. V is taller than Q but shorter than M.
  2. T is taller than Q and M but shorter than P.

I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
Either I or II is sufficient
Neither I nor II is sufficient
Both I and II are sufficient
Answer: Option
Explanation:

From I, we have: M > V > Q.

From II, we have: T > Q, T > M, P > T.

Combining the above two, we have: P>T>M>V>Q i.e. Q

Clearly, M is in the middle.

Even by using both the statements, we can't find the position of v and m correctly. Therefore the given answer is wrong and the answer should be neither I and II.

From S-1 we can't able to find the answer but with s-2 we can say the answer because M<Q<T<P<V Even after combining both statements we can't say because from S-1 Q<V<M which is contradicting with S-2 hence Option B is correct.

T is being mentioned as taller than Q, but no other relationship of T is specified w.r.t to other V, M, P.
