Question

    A question is given, followed by two statements

    numbered (I) and (II). You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements is sufficient to answer the question. Read both the statements and select the appropriate answer. Six boxes F, G, H, I, J and K are kept one above the another but not necessarily in the same order. The bottommost box is numbered as 1 st and the topmost box is numbered 6 th . Which box is kept at topmost position? Statements: (I) G is kept three boxes above F. No box is kept below H. I is kept above K, which is kept above J. J is not kept at odd numbered position. (II) I is kept two boxes above F. J is kept just below F. F is kept at prime numbered position. K is kept three boxes above H.
    A Data given in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question while date given in statement II is not. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Data given in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question while date given in statement I is not. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Either date in statement I or statement II is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Data in statements I and II together are sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From statement I alone, G is kept three boxes above F. No box is kept below H. I is kept above K, which is kept above J. J is not kept at odd numbered position. Clearly, G is kept at the topmost position. So, statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question. From statement II alone, I is kept two boxes above F. J is kept just below F. F is kept at prime numbered position. K is kept three boxes above H. Either K or G is kept at the topmost position. So, statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question. So, data given in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question while date given in statement II is not.
