• 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 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 C

If the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question

From Statement I, Required rank= [40 - (35 -10) + 1]= 16th

From Statement II, Required rank = (24 - 10) = 14th

So, either Statement I or II alone are sufficient to answer the question
