      Question

      The question given below consists of two statements

      numbered I and II below them. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. Read all the statements and give answer: Five persons L, M, N, O and P have different speeds of running. Who is the 2nd fastest runner? Statement I: O and L run faster than M. At most three persons run slower than M. Statement II: N runs faster than L. Only M and P run slower than L. O doesn’t run faster than N.
      A Data given in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Data given in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Data given in either statement I or statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Data given in both statement I and statement II together are sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Data given in both statement I and statement II together are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      From statement I alone, as O and L run faster than M. At most three persons run slower than M, so no proper arrangement is possible. From statement II alone, as N runs faster than L. Only M and P run slower than L. O doesn’t run faster than N,  So, N > O > L > M/P > P/M Clearly, O is the 2nd fastest runner. Data given in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
