Concept: Try to see whether we can have a "UNIQUE/ABSOLUTE" answer to given question by applying statements with 3 posibilities.
Β If only 1st statement is taken into consideration.
Β If only 2nd statement is taken into consideration.
Β If both statements are taken into consideration.
In given question with first possibility, we can't have a unique answer as there can be 3 cases. Childs greater than 5 years, childs equal to 5 years and childs less than 5 years and with first possibility we know only that childs greater than 5 years get 5 choclates nothing about other two cases.
With second possibility too, we can't find a unique answer as we can't say anything about childs greater than 5 years
Now with third possibility, we are having a unique answer to given question because we have information about all childs which are either greater than 5 year , lesser or equal to 5 years.Β Childs older than 5 years will be 5, childs equal to 5 years are 2 and childs younger than 5 years will be 1.
