    Seven boxes, A, B, C, D, E, F and G, are kept one above the other, such that the bottommost box is numbered as 1, the box above it is numbered as 2 and so on. How many boxes are between G and D?

    Statements:

    I. B is three boxes above A. A is an even numbered box. G is immediately above B. There is one box between B and C. There are two boxes between F and E which is a prime numbered box.

    II. B is four boxes above D. E is two boxes above B. F is two boxes below G. C is above A.

    A 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. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 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. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C The data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D The data given in statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E The data in statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From I. Four boxes are between G and D. Hence data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question. From II. We cannot fix the position of G. Hence data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
