Each of the questions below consists of a question and two
statements numbered 1 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—
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 dam 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 the statements 1 and 11 together are not sufficient to answer the question, and
e: if the data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
Among J. K. L, M and N, each has different height. Who amongst them is the second tallest ?
I. N is taller than M and K. K is shorter than M.
II. L is taller than N. J is not the tallest.
Since, there is no information about all people in each statement. Thus, each statement alone is insufficient.
I & II : From 1, we get : N > M > K
From 2, we get : L > N
Combining the above two conditions, we get : L > N > M > K.
It is known that J is not the tallest. Thus, J can take any position between L & N or N & M or N& K.
Thus, we cannot determine the 2nd tallest person.
Thus, I & II together are not sufficient.
