• A. If the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to answer.
• B. If the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.
• C. If the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
• 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

The correct option is C If the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.

• From statement 1, we get the information that Nitin is on the first floor, Ganesh is exactly above Nitin's flat i.e second floor and Mahesh is exactly above Ganesh's flat i.e third floor. Thus, SUFFICIENT.
• From statement 2, Ahmed's flat is on the fourth floor and Jeevan's and Mahesh's flat is adjacent to each other but exactly below Ahmed's flat i.e third floor. Thus, SUFFICIENT.
• Thus, the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
