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

    Solution

    From Statement I And Q can be born either in September or November. And T is born in January. From Statement II: P < Q < S From both statements I and II, Even by combining both the statements we only know that P is born in November and S is born in July but we cannot find that either P or S lives on the 4th floor, so both together are not sufficient.
