    different weight. Which of the bag is heaviest? I. Only two bags are heavier than D. D is heavier than E but lighter than B. II. C is lighter than D but heavier than E. A is heavier than D, but not the heaviest. 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 is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 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. 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 statement I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E If the data in both statement I and II together are necessary to answer the question Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

      In this question, we have to look after both the statements I. As per this statement, we will have two following cases: CASE I: B can be the heaviest and E can be lightest B > __ > D > __ > E CASE II: B will be the second heaviest and E will be the second lightest __ > B > D > E > __ From this statement, it is not clear that who is the heaviest, so this statement will get eliminated and we cannot use this statement individually II. As per this statement, diagram will be as follows: B > A > D > C > E So from this statement we can conclude that B is the heaviest So, answer will be Only II
