Data Sufficiency

Question:

This question contains a question and two statements labelled I and II giving certain data. You have to select the correct answer from (A) to (D) depending on the sufficiency of the data given in the statements to answer the question.

Who is the tallest among A, B, C and D?
I. A is taller than C, who is taller than B.
II. D is taller than C.

Options:

If the question can be answered by using one of the statements alone but cannot be answered by using the other statement alone.

If the question can be answered by using either statement alone.

If the question can be answered by using both statements together but cannot be answered by using the statement alone.

If the question cannot be answered even by using both the statements together

Correct Answer:

If the question cannot be answered even by using both the statements together

Explanation:

From Statement I: A is taller than C, who is taller than B. But we do not have any information about D. Therefore, we cannot determine who is the tallest among A, B, C and D from this statement.

From Statement II: D is taller than C. But cannot determine who is the tallest among A and D from this statement.

From both statement it is not clear that who is the tallest among them. Therefore, option D is correct.
