Question

    Each of the questions below consists of a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question:

    Seven person namely – B, C, D, E, F, G and H have

    different height. How many person are taller to E? I. E is taller to F, C but not as much as B, D. F is taller to H, G but not as much as D, E. D is only short to one person and G is shortest among all. II. F is taller to H, G but not as much as D, E. C is taller to F, H but not as much as E, D. B is tallest among all. H is only taller to G.
    A If the data in Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B If the data in Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C If the data either in Statement I alone or in Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D If the data in both the Statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E If the data in both the Statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    We have:   B, D > E > F, C.   E, D > F > H, G.   D is only short to one person.  G is shortest among all. Based on above given information we have: Clearly, height of only two person are more than E. Hence, statement I is alone sufficient. From II: We have:  D, E > F > H, G.  E, D > C > F, H.  B is tallest among all. H is only taller to G. Based on above given information we have: Clearly, exact height of E is not known. Hence, statement II is not sufficient.
