Answer 1

Question:

On what day of the week does Punit’s birthday fall?

Statements:

I. Arjun correctly remembers that Punit’s birthday comes before Thursday but after Monday.

From statement (I) we can say that Punit's birthday is either on Tuesday or Wednesday.

II. Bhushan correctly remembers that Punit’s birthday comes after Tuesday but before Saturday.

From statement (II) we can say that Punit's birthday is after Tuesday but before Saturday.

From both statements, we conclude that Punit's birthday is on 'Wednesday'.

Hence, the correct answer is "The data given in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question".
