    D Both statements I and II are required to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Both statements together are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    It is clear that no statement alone is sufficient to answer the question. We need to check if the combination of statements is sufficient or not. From statement I & II Time taken by Pipe P3 = 56 hours Time taken by pipe P2 = 56 x 3/4 = 42 hours So, time taken by pipe P1 alone = 42 – 14 = 28 hours Hence answer is option D
