    E The data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From statement I alone, R is older than only U. S is older than P but younger than Q. But the oldest person cannot be determined. So, Statement I alone is not sufficient. From statement II alone, Q is not the oldest person. S is older than U. But the oldest person cannot be determined. So, statement II alone is not sufficient. On combining both statements, we will get, T > Q > S > P > R > U.
