• 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 either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question
• D. If the data given 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 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

From I, we can conclude that the Chairman visited Purchase department on Monday of the first week of September.
The exact time of visit of any department is not mentioned in II, which is, therefore, insufficient.
