Question

    The question given below is followed by two statements numbered I and II. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements sufficient to answer the question:

    Seven persons R, P, Q, V, A, X and M were born in different months March, May, June, August, September, October and November but not necessarily in the same order. Who was born in June?

    I. Three persons were born between V and R. R was born after V. A was born immediately before M but not immediately after V.

    II. As many persons born before Q were born after R. X was born after P. M was born in the month which has odd number of days.

    A If the data in the 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 the 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 the 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 statement I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E If the data in both the statement I and II together are necessary to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From I. We cannot determine who was born in June. Hence data in the statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.   From II. We are getting so many possibilities. Hence data in the statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question. From I and II. V was born in June. Hence data in the both statement I and II are sufficient to answer the question.
