Statement I:  R lives on the third floor. Only one person lives between R and U. S lives immediately above V. Statement II: T lives on the second floor. V lives two floors above T. R lives above U but not on an adjacent floor. S lives above V.
    A Data given in either statement I or II alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Data given in neither statement I nor II alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Data given in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Data given in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Data given in both statement I and II together are necessary to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From statement I alone, R lives on third floor. Only one person lives between R and U. S lives immediate above V, we get: So, from statement I alone, we get either S or U lives on fifth floor. From statement II alone, T lives on second floor. V lives two floors above T. R lives above U but not on adjacent floor. S lives above V, we get: So, from statement II alone, we get S lives on fifth floor. Therefore, data given in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
