Directions for the following four questions:

Each question is followed by two statements, A and B. Answer each question using the following instructions:

Question 33

In a football match, at the half-time, Mahindra and Mahindra Club was trailing by three goals. Did it win the match?
A. In the second-half Mahindra and Mahindra Club scored four goals.
B. The opponent scored four goals in the match.

Solution

From statement A, we know that the club scored four goals in the second half but we do not know the number of goals scored by the opposition. So, we cannot answer the question.
From statement B, we know that the opposition scored 4 goals in the match but we do not know the number of goals scored by Mahindra and Mahindra club. So, we cannot answer the question.
Using both the statements, we know that the opposition scored 4 goals in the match and Mahindra and Mahindra scored 4 goals in the second half. But, we do not know if the score was 3-0 or 4-1 at the end of first half. If it was 4-1, then Mahindra and Mahindra would win the match after the second half. But if the score was 3-0 at the end of first half, the match would end in a draw after the second half.
Therefore, the question cannot be answered even by using both the statements together.
