Decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer. Question : Who among A, B, C, D and E is exactly in the middle when they are arranged in ascending order of their heights ? Statements : |
I statement alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient II statement alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient Either I or II is sufficient Both I and II are sufficient |
Both I and II are sufficient |
From Statement I, we know that D is taller than B but shorter than E. This gives us some information about the relative positions of D, B, and E. From Statement II, we know that C is taller than B and E. This gives us some more information about the relative positions of C, B, and E. So, D is in the middle (since it's taller than B but shorter than E) C is taller than B and E, so it can't be in the middle A must be the tallest (since C is not the tallest) So, the only person who can be exactly in the middle is D. Thus, both statements together are sufficient to answer the question.
