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

Answer: (D)

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

From statement 1, 'pat nic no ran' means 'what is your name' and from statement 2, 'nic sa ran ja' means 'my name is Shambhu'. Since 'nic' and 'ran' is common in both the statements, we can only infer that 'nic' means 'is' or 'name'. Thus, the data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
