Answer 1

The correct option is D The data given in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question

Option D is the correct option

Explanation

As per statement II, his Mother's birthday is on April 13.

And she completed 55 years on 13 April 2017.

So, she was born on 13 April 1962.

From statement I,

Exactly after 28 years, Gautam was born.

So, he would have born on 13 April 1990.

Thus, to find out the age of Gautam, we need both the statements.

Hence, option D is correct.
