• 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 D

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

Mentioning the names of people with their 1${}^{st}$ letters ,we have: R $>$ U, R $>$ T, S $>$ R i.e. S $>$ R $>$ U $>$ Tor S $>$ R $>$ T $>$ U .

From II, S is not the heaviest. So, P is the heaviest.

Thus, we have: P $>$ S $>$ R $>$ U $>$ T or P $>$ S $>$ R $>$ T $>$ U.

Hence, either one of T or U is the lightest.
