    C Data given in either statement I or statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Data given in both statement I and statement II together are sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From Statement I alone: P is shorter than two persons. T is just shorter than V. Q is taller than P. We get many cases as we cannot fix the places of T and V. Case I: Q > __ > P > __ > __ > __ > __ > __ Case II: __ > Q > P > __ > __ > __ > __ > __ From Statement II alone: U is taller than R. Q is shorter than S. T is just taller than U. W is not taller than V. We get many cases as we cannot fix their positions. T > U > R , S > Q and V > W After combining statement I and II, we get: S > Q > P > V > T > U > R/W > W/R So, U is the third shortest person. Therefore, data given in both statement I and statement II together are sufficient to answer the question.
