  • (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
  • (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
  • (D) If the data given in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question and

Q1:

Question: How is M related to N ? Statements:
  1. B is the daughter of M and sister of Q.
  2. N is the son of K who is B's grandfather.

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:D - Neither I nor II is sufficient

Explanation: From II, we know that N is K's son and K is B's grandfather. Thus, N is the son of B's grandfather i.e. N is either father or uncle of B. From I, B is the daughter of M. So, M is either father or mother of B. Clearly, the correct relationship between M and N cannot be deduced.
