a: The data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
b: 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.
c: The data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
d: The data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
e: The data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question while the data in statement I are not sufficient to answer the question.
Among people A, B, C, D, E and F, each having a different height, who is the second shortest ?
I. Only two people are taller than A. E is taller than both B and C. F is shorter than E. F is taller than C.
II. Only two people are shorter than D. A is taller than D but shorter than E. F is neither the tallest nor the shortest. B is taller than C.
Clearly, each statement alone is insufficient as there is not enough data, thus by combining both statements, we getĀ :
Only two people are taller than A, => A is the third tallest.
Only two people are shorter than D, => D is the 4th tallest.
E is taller than both B and C. F is shorter than E, => E is the tallest.
F is taller than C andĀ B is taller than C,Ā => C is the shortest.
$$\therefore$$ ArrangementĀ : E > B/F > A > D > F/B > C
Thus, we cannot find the second shortest person.
$$\therefore$$ Both statements even together are insufficient.
