Answer 1

The correct option is E If the data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.

1. From statement 1, the annual function was celebrated on its 25th foundation day. we cannot deduce the celebration date. Thus, insufficient.
2. From statement 2, the college was founded on the 85th day of the year 1974, no information can be deduced. Thus, insufficient.

• The exact date of foundation of the college can be known by using statement 2 and adding 25 years (using statement 1) to that date. Thus, data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
