From statement I alone, R is older than only U. S is older than P but younger than Q. But the oldest person cannot be determined. So, Statement I alone is not sufficient. From statement II alone, Q is not the oldest person. S is older than U. But the oldest person cannot be determined. So, statement II alone is not sufficient. On combining both statements, we will get, T Q S P R U.

The question consists of 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.

A 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

B 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

C The data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question

D The data given in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question

E The data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question
