    How many days did Mr. Bhatia take to complete his work?

    I. His colleague Simran correctly remembers that Mr. Bhatia took more than five days but less than nine days to complete his work.

    II. His colleague Ankur correctly remembers that Mr. Bhatia took more than seven days but less than eleven days.

    A If the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B If the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C If the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D If the data even in both the statement 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 needed to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From I and II: Possible days according to Simran: 6, 7and8 days. Possible days according to Ankur: 8, 9, and 10 days. Thus, 8 is common in both statements. Hence, both are together sufficient to answer the question.
