    C If the data in statement II and III are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I is not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D If the data in statement I and III are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II is not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E If the data in all the statement I, II and III are necessary to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From Statement I: There is only one floor between the floors on which floor Rekha and Rajat are living. Geeta is living on an even numbered floor. This statement alone is not sufficient to answer the question. From Statement II:Gopal is not living on an even numbered floor. Rajat is living on an even numbered floor. Rajat is not living on the top floor This statement alone is not sufficient to answer the question. From Statement III:Riya is living on an odd numbered floor. There are two floors between the floor on which Riya and Geeta are living. Gopal is living immediately above Rekha. Clearly we can see that in Case 3 there is no space for Gopal and Rekha to accomodate. In cases 1 and 2, Tolu lives on an even numbered floor which violates the first reference. Only case 2A satisfies all the conditions. So, Geeta lives on the top-most floor. Statement (II) and Statement (III) together are sufficient.
