Q1:

Question: On a T.V. channel, four serials A, B, C and D were screened, one on eacn day, on four consecutive days but not necessarily in that order. On which day was the serial C screened ? Statements:
  1. The first serial was screened on 23rd, Tuesday and was followed by serial D.
  2. Serial A was not screened on 25th and one serial was screened between serials A and B.

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:E - Both I and II are sufficient

Explanation: From I, we know that the serials were screened on 23rd, 24th, 25th and 26th. Clearly, D was screened second i.e. on 24th, Wednesday. From II, we know that one serial was screened between A and B. So, A and B were screened first and third, i.e. on 23rd and 25th. But, A was not screened on 25th. So, A was screened on 23rd and B on 25th. Thus, C was screened on 26th, Friday.
