  • (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
  • (C) If the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question

Q1:

Question: Among T, V, B, E and C, who is the third from the top when arranged in the descending order of their weights ? Statements:
  1. B is heavier than T and C and is less heavier than V who is not the heaviest.
  2. C is heavier than only T.

A I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient

B II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient

C Either I or II is sufficient

D Neither I nor II is sufficient

E Both I and II are sufficient

ANS:A - I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient

Explanation: From I, we have: B > T, B > C, V > B. Thus, V is heavier than each one of B, T and C. But V is not the heaviest. So, E is the heaviest. Thus, we have the order. E>V>B>T>C or E>V>B>C>T. Clearly, B is third from the top.
