• 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 C

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

From Statements I and II together, there are two possibilities -

$\therefore$ Total people in line = 14 + 1 + 5 + 1 + 14 = 35 or 20 + 1 + 5 + 1 + 20 = 47

So, both statements taken together are not sufficient answer the question.
