    C Data given in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question but data given in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Data given in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question but data given in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From statement I, X is two boxes above T. Y is one box below T. Only three boxes are between W and Y. W is below Y. U is one box above W. We get: From statement I alone, we get Y is kept three boxes above U. From statement II, R is the third box from the bottom. Only three boxes are between R and S. T is one box above Y, which is one box above V. U is below V. We get: From statement II alone, we cannot answer the question as we cannot ix the position of U. Therefore, data given in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question but data given in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
