    Question

    The question given below 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. Read all the statements and give answer. Seven poles (R, S, T, U, V, W, and X) have different heights. _____ is the 3rd longest pole. Statement I: Only W is longer than X. U is shorter than T. T is the 4 th longest pole. V is longer than U but shorter than T. R is shorter than U. Statement II: Only two poles are shorter than V. S is immediate longer than T, which is longer than V. W and X are longer than V.
    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 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    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 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C The data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D The data given in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E The data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From Statement I alone: T is the 4 th longest pole. V is longer than U but shorter than T. R is shorter than U.U is shorter than T. Only W is longer than X, we get: W > X > S > T > V > U > R S is the 3rd longest pole. From Statement II alone: Only two poles are shorter than V. S is immediate longer than T, which is longer than V. W and X are longer than V, we get: Case I: S > T > W/X > X/W > V > U/R > R/U Case II: W/X > X/W > S > T > V > U/R > R/U Case III: W/X > S > T > X/W < V < U/R > R/U W or X or S or T is the 3rd longest pole. The data given in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.
