Each of the questions below consists of a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. Read both the statements and -
Give answer 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
Give 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
Give answer c: If the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the
question
Give answer d: If the data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question
Give answer e: If the data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question
On which day of the week is Priya definitely travelling?
I. Amita correctly remembers that Priya is travelling after Tuesday but before Saturday. Rohit correctly remembers that Priya is travelling before Friday but after Monday.
II. Priya does not travel on a Friday.
I : According to Amita, Priya is travelling on = Wednesday or Thursday or Friday
According to Amit, Priya is travelling on = Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday
Thus, common days in both inferences are = Wednesday or Thursday
Thus, we cannot determine the day using I alone.
Clearly, II alone is also insufficient.
So, combining both statements, the days on which Priya is travelling = Wednesday or Thursday
Still, the day cannot be determined.
$$\therefore$$ Both statements even together are insufficient.
