    E Data given in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From statement I alone, M is taller than L and O. P is shorter than at least two person. Q is shorter than N, so, number of person taller than M can’t be known. From statement II alone, P is taller than only two person. F is taller than M but shorter than N. L is taller than only O. So, the final arrangement is shown below, N > Q > M > P > L > O Two person are taller than M. Data given in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
