• D. If the data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question;
• E. If the data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

If the data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question;

• From statement 1, R's sister is the mother of N, who is the daughter of S. So, S is either R's sister or brother-in-law. Thus, NOT SUFFICIENT.
• From statement 2, P is the sister of S, which is of no help to answer the question. Thus, NOT SUFFICIENT.
• Even after combining both the statements, we cannot get the answer as there is no information available about the gender of S. Hence, the data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
