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. Read the question and both the statements and give answer

    Among six friends S, T, U, V,W and X, who gets the second highest marks?

    I. X gets more marks than U and W but not as much as T. V gets more marks than W and S but less than T. S gets the lowest marks whereas the marks of V and X are the same.

    II. W gets more marks than S and less than U. V gets more marks than U and W but less than T.

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

    Solution

    From I, T > X > U, W…….(i) T > V > W, S……. (ii) V = X……. (iii) Also, S gets the lowest. Combining (i), (ii) and (iii), T > V = X > U/W > W/U > S ……..(iv) Thus statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question. From II, U > W > S…..(v) T > V > U, W ……. (vi) But we have no information about X. Thus statement II is not sufficient to answer the question.
