    Question

    Among A, B, C, D and E, who is the heaviest? I.

    C is heavier than only A. II. D is lighter than B but heavier than C and E. Each of the questions given below consists of a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question or not. Read both the statements and answer the question.
    A If the data in Statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B If the data in Statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C If the data either in Statement I alone or in Statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D If the data in both the Statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    We will analyse both the statements separately I. As per this statement, we can conclude that C is heavier than only A and the rest are heavier than C so we cannot conclude that who is the heaviest of them all. So, this option will get eliminated individually. II. As per this statement we, can conclude this: B > D > C and E From this analysis, we cannot conclude who is the heaviest So this option will also get eliminated individually Now, we will combine both these statements and we can conclude this: B >  D >  E >  C >  A So, answer is B is the heaviest So, we need both these statements to answer the question
