Data Sufficiency Question 1:

Questions and two statements are given. Find out which statement is/are necessary/ sufficient to answer the given question.

Question: Which one is the lightest among A, B, C, D, and E?

Statements:

I. C is heavier than B and E but lighter than D.

II. D is not the heaviest.

  1. Only statement I is sufficient to answer the question.
  2. Only statement II is sufficient to answer the question.
  3. Data insufficient
  4. Both statement I or statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
  5. None of the above

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 3 : Data insufficient

Data Sufficiency Question 1 Detailed Solution

According to the statement I:  D is heavier than C who is heavier than both B and E.

⇒ D > C > B/E

This statement alone is not sufficient to answer the question as we don't know the relation between B and E.

According to the second statement 2 : D is not the heaviest.

This statement alone is not sufficient to answer the question as we need to identify the person who is the lightest.

If we combine the two statements, we get:

A must be heavier than D because C, B, and E are lighter than D.

⇒ A > D > C > B/E

Thus, even if we combine the two statements, we cannot determine who is the lightest as the relation between B and E cannot be determined.

Hence, "data is not sufficient" to answer the question.

Data Sufficiency Question 2:

Direction: In the following question, a given questions is followed by information in two statements. You have to find out the data in which statement(s) is sufficient to answer the question and mark your answer accordingly. Six persons A, E, I, K, O and U went to visit temple starting from Monday to Saturday. Only one person visits on a particular day. M visits temple on Thursday. Who among them visits temple on Saturday?

I. Not less than two persons visit before I. Neither A nor H visits temple on Wednesday. One person went to visit temple between I and O.

II. Neither I nor O went on Tuesday. Either A or L visits on Saturday. One person went to visit the temple between M and L. A did not go after M.

  1. If the data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
  2. If the data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
  3. If the data either in statement I or in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
  4. If the data given in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
  5. If the data given in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 3 : If the data either in statement I or in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Data Sufficiency Question 2 Detailed Solution

Statements:

I) Neither P nor R is the tallest. S is taller than P.

S > P

II) P is taller than R and T. S is taller than Q, who is not shorter than P. So, we have the following arrangement.

⇒  P is taller than R and T.

→ P > T > R, or

→ P > R > T ....... (i)

⇒ S is taller than Q

→ S > Q ........   (ii)

⇒ Q is not shorter than P.

→ Q > P   ........ (iii)

Combining all these, we get:

S > Q > P > R/T > T/R

Therefore, S is the tallest.

Only statement II is sufficient to find the tallest person among P, Q, R, S and T.

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.

F1 Savita Railways 04-7-22 D5

(II) David is exactly in the middle of the row and there are ten soldiers to his right.

F1 Savita Railways 04-7-22 D6

So David rank 11th from the left.

When combining Statement I and II:

F1 Savita Railways 04-7-22 D7

soldiers are there between William and David = William rank from right - David rank from right - 1

soldiers are there between William and David = 15 - 11 - 1 = 15 - 12 = 3

So, "3" soldiers are there between William and David

Hence, "Both I and II together are sufficient"

Statement I: F is heavier than H and J but is lighter than G.

G > F > H/J

Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Statement II. H is heavier than I.

Alone statement II you cannot predict which is lightest among five.

Combining statement I and statement II.

G > F > H > I > J or G > F > H > J > I or G > F > J > H > I

Either I or J is lightest among them.

Hence, “Both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer”.

From statement 1: Y’s rank is 4 ranks below that of X and 30th from the bottom.

Thus X’s rank is 34th from the bottom.

As the total number of students is 50, X’s rank from the top will be 50 – 34 + 1 = 17

From statement 2: Z’s rank is 2 ranks above that of X and 32nd from the bottom.

Thus, X’s rank is 30th from the bottom.

As the total number of students is 50, X’s rank from the top will be 50 – 30 + 1 = 21

So, we can say that either 1 or 2 is sufficient to answer the given question.

I. There are 20 boys in the class.

From this we cannot find the ratio of boys to girls in the class.

II. The ratio of girls to the number of students in the whole class is 3 : 7

So, the ratio of boys to girls in the class is 4 : 3.

Hence, statement II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient.

Important Points

  • The question is asking about D's relation with F.
  • For this, we must know the gender of D.

Statement I: B has two sisters E and F.

Data suff Nitya Shrivastav 30Oct20 pankaj chaudhary D9

We cannot say how D is related to F using this statement.

Statement II: A is the mother of B, who Is the brother of D.

Data suff Nitya Shrivastav 30Oct20 pankaj chaudhary D10

We cannot say how D is related to F using this statement.

Combining both statements, we get:

Data suff Nitya Shrivastav 30Oct20 pankaj chaudhary D11

We cannot say how D is related to F because we don’t know the gender of D.

Hence, ‘Statement I and II together are not sufficient is the correct answer.

Mistake Points'B has two sisters E and F.' doesn't specify that B has only 2 sisters. Had the word only been given in the sentence, we could have concluded that D.

Persons: A, B, C, D, and E.

I. A is taller than E but shorter than D.

D > A > E 

II. B is shorter than C but taller than E.

C > B > E

III. D is taller than C and A is taller than B.

D > C and A > B

Option 1: combining statements I and III:

D > A > E  and D > C and A > B

D > _  >  _ >  _  >  _  

We will not get any result by combining the two statements.
 
Option 2: combining statements I and II:
 
D > A > E  and C > B > E
 

_ > _  >  _ >  _  >  E 

E is the shortest among all the five. So this is sufficient to answer.

Option 3: combining statements I, II, and III:
 

D > C/A > A/C > B > E

Now, we can say that E is the shortest among A, B, C, D and E. Statements I, II, and III are sufficient.

Note: There is a discrepancy in the original question and marked options.

When statements 1 and 2 combinedly give the answer then obviously with the help of statement 3 we can also give the answer, but we need to choose the minimum statement required to give the answer.

Hence, Statements I and II together are sufficient is the correct answer.

According to statement 1, Swati’s husband and Namitha are siblings. So Swati is sister-in law of Namitha.

According to statement 2, Swati's brother is the cousin of Namitha’s husband but here gender of Swathi is not definite. So, we can't find the relation of Swathi with Namitha.

Hence, I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
