Question

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

• A. If the question can be answered by any one of the statements alone, but cannot be answered by using the other statement alone.
• B. If the question can be answered by using either statement alone.
• C. If the question can be answered by using both the statements together, but cannot be answered by using either statement alone.
• D. If the question cannot be answered even by using both the statements together.

Answer 1

The correct option is D If the question cannot be answered even by using both the statements together.

Statement (I) alone is not sufficient because it is not giving any information about the opponent. Statement (II) alone too is not sufficient because it is not giving any information regarding the performance of Mahindra & Mahindra in the second-half. Even if both the statements are used, we will have two cases:
$\begin{array}{ccc}M\&M& 0& 1\\ Opponent& 3& 4\end{array}$
So, in one case, match is drawn and in another case, it is won by Mahindra & Mahindra.
Hence, the statements are not sufficient.
