Statement 1: R is taller than P. This statement alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Statement 2: Q is taller than P. This statement alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Combining the statements, we get both Q and R to be taller than P. Hence, P is the shortest.

So, the correct choice is Option (D).

Suppose A's salary is 4x and B's salary is 3x.

Statement 1: B's salary is 75% of that of A's salary. This statement is the same as the original statement since 75% equals 3/4. So, we dont get any valuable iformation from this statement.

Statement 2: B's salary is 4500 Rs.

Combining with original statement, 3x = 4500

Therefore, x = 1500

And 4x = 6000.

Hence, we get A's salary as Rs 6000. 

So, the second statement is sufficient to get A's salary. Hence Option (B).

Statement 1: Total weight of the books on the table is 130 kg. 

This does not tell us anything on the number of books. 

Statement 2: Total weight of table is 130 kg.

Again, this statement does not tell us anything on the number of books.

Combining the 2 statements, also does not give us any information on the number of books.

Hence, Option C.

lee pee tin - Always Keep Smiling.

Statement 1: tin lut lee - Always Keep left

Combing the code with the given statement, tin and lee stand for Always and keep, hence, pee should stand for Smiling. Thus, this statement alone is sufficient to get the code for Smiling.

Statement 2: dee pee - Rose smiling

Combining the code with the given statement, dee stands for Rose and pee stands for smiling. Thus, this statement also alone is sufficient to get the code for Smiling.

Hence Option (A).

If we know that X is 22 years old during September, 1993, we can calculate his present age by adding up the number of years from 1993 to present. Hence statement 2 is sufficient to get X's present age. Statement 1 mentions the month but not the year, so that statement a;on is not sufficient to give us X's age. 

The statement says: A further confirmation by the Finance Minister that the prices of essential items would not be raised was welcome feature for the public.

Implication 1: He proposes to raise prices of luxury items. The statement says that the prices of essential items would not be raised, but it does not mention anything about the price of the luxury items. Hence it is not an implicit implication.

Implication 2: Some people had doubted the Finance Minister's announcement regarding the stability of prices of essential items. The statement does not say anything about the people's reaction to the Finance Minister's announcement on the stability of price of essential items. So, we are not sure if they doubted the announcement. Hence this is also not an implicit implication.

Hence, option (C).

The statement says: Prayers are sometimes answered when there is no chance or hope.

Implication 1:Some times, we do get helped miraculously. This is an implicit implication because, it is a direct implication of the statement that the prayers are answered miraculously when there is no chance or hope.

Implication 2:God shows favour only when we are in absolute despair. This is not an implicit implication because the statement describes the scenario when there is no chance or hope, but it never says that prayers are not answered otherwise. Prayers may be answered even when we are not in absolute despair or hopeless.

Hence, option (A).

The statement says: Virtually all bosses are problem bosses in one way or the other.

Implication 1: No employee other than boss creates problems. This statement says only about bosses. It does not mention anything about employees other than bosses. So, this is not an implicit implication.  

Implication 2: Boss and employees never have coordination. This statement is not related to the given statement in any way. So, this is also not an implicit implication.

Hence, option(C).

The statement says: First defeat often becomes a key to victory for some players.

Implication 1: After first defeat they come to know where they stand and what they have to achieve. This gives us a reason why defeat helps some players to be victorious for the future. So, this is an implicit implication.

Implication 2: After first defeat, every player is bound to win. This statement does not provide any reason as to why defeat becomes a key to victory for some players. So this is not an implicit implication.

Hence, Option (A).

The statement says: Road and other areas around hospitals are marked as silence zone.

Implication 1: Hospitals do not have sound-proof doors. If hospitals did have sound-proof doors, the areas did not need to be marked as silence zone. So this implication is implicit.

Implication 2: Noisy vehicles disturb patients. Again, if noisy vehicles did not disturb patients, they don't need to be marked as silence zones. So this implication is implicit as well.

Hence, Option (D).
