• B. If the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question,while the data in statement I all are 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 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: (E)

If the data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.

From statement I:

$C>B>D$

From statement II:

$A>E>C$

Combining both the statements we get,

$A>E>C>B>D$

Therefore, both statements together are necessary to find highest among them.

Hence, E is the correct option.
