Each of the questions below consists of a statement and/or 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 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.
(Caution : Do not hasten to mark the answer unless you consider both the Statements carefully).
Mandar is taller than Sunil and Raghu is shorter than Abhishek. Who among them is the shortest ?
I. Raghu is shorter than Mandar.
II. Abhishek is shorter than Sunil.
It is given that Mandar is taller than Sunil and Raghu is shorter than Abhishek => $$M>S$$ and $$A>R$$ ------------(i)
I : Raghu is shorter than Mandar => $$M>R$$
From above statement, we cannot find the shortest person, hence I alone is insufficient.
II : Abhishek is shorter than Sunil => $$S>A$$ ------------(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get : $$M>S>A>R$$
Thus, R is the shortest.
$$\therefore$$ II alone is sufficient.
=> Ans - (B)
