• 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 I : L > N, L > P, Q > L, Q > M, Q > O .

Q is the tallest.

From II:

_ _ N < Q, L & M, M > L.

So, _ _ N L M Q.

Hence Q is tallest.
