    Statements:

    I. N scored more runs than P but less than 56 runs. M doesn’t score more than P. J scored more runs than L, but not the highest. L doesn’t score 56 runs.

    II. Runs scored by J is the average of the runs scored by O and L. K scored more than N but less than L. P and M scored less than L who doesn’t score the highest.

    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. There will be three possible cases as at least three players scored more than 56 runs. So, we cannot determine who scored the highest run. Hence, the data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question. From II. O > J > L > _ > _ > _ > _ Hence, 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.
