Question
This question contains a question and two statements labelled I and II giving certain data. You have to select the correct answer from (A) to (D) depending on the sufficiency of the data given in the statements to answer the question.Who is the tallest among A, B, C and D?I. A is taller than C, who is taller than B.II. D is taller than C.If the question can be answered by using one of the statements alone but cannot be answered by using the other statement alone.If the question can be answered by using either statement alone.If the question can be answered by using both statements together but cannot be answered by using the statement alone.If the question cannot be answered even by using both the statements together
Solution
The answer is (C). The question can be answered by using both statements together but cannot be answered by using the statement alone.
Here's why:
From statement I, we know that A is taller than C and B. But we don't know how A compares to D.
From statement II, we know that D is taller than C. But we don't know how D compares to A or B.
By combining both statements, we can deduce that A is taller than C and B, and D is taller than C. Since A is taller than C and D is also taller than C, we can't determine who is taller between A and D. But we can conclude that either A or D is the tallest.
So, we need both statements to answer the question.
