Question

Among five friends P, Q, R, S and T who is the tallest?

Statement I: S is taller than P and R.

Statement II: Q is shorter than T but taller than S.

• A. If the data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question
• B. If the data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question
• C. If the data given in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question
• D. If the data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question

Answer 1

The correct option is D

If the data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question

From I, we have: S $>$ P, S $>$ R.

From II, we have: T $>$ Q $>$ S.

Combining the above two,

we get:T $>$ Q $>$ S $>$ P $>$ R or T $>$ Q $>$ S $>$ R $>$ P.
