Question

Who scored highest among A, B, C, D and E?
(I) B scored more than D, but not as much as C.
(II) E scored more than C, but not more than A.

• A. Statement (I) alone is sufficient, but statement (II) alone is not sufficient.
• B. Statement (II) alone is sufficient, but statement (I) alone is not sufficient.
• C. Both statements together are sufficient, but neither statement alone is sufficient.
• D. Each statement alone is sufficient.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Both statements together are sufficient, but neither statement alone is sufficient.

(I) $\Rightarrow C>B>D$
(II) $\Rightarrow A>E>C$
Combining both, we get A > E > C > B > D
Hence both statements together are necessary.
