Directions: Each of the following questions below consists of a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. Read both the statements and give answer Who amongst P, Q, R, S and T is the tallest? I. P is taller than Q. T is not the tallest. II. R is taller than P, S is not the tallest.

- D.
If the data in both the statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
- E.
If the data in both the statements I and Il are together necessary to answer the question.
Correct Answer
E. If the data in both the statements I and Il are together necessary to answer the question.Explanation
The question asks who amongst P, Q, R, S, and T is the tallest. Statement I tells us that P is taller than Q, but it does not provide any information about the heights of R, S, or T. Statement II tells us that R is taller than P and S is not the tallest, but it also does not provide any information about the heights of Q or T. Therefore, neither statement alone is sufficient to answer the question. However, when we combine both statements, we know that P is shorter than R, and S is shorter than R. Therefore, the only possibility is that R is the tallest. Thus, the data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.Rate this question:
