    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, Now, R lives two floors above O’s floor. Q lives on the bottommost floor. P lives just above M’s floor. So, we have two cases,   So, either M or O is just above Q’s floor. Therefore, statement I alone is not sufficient. From statement II, Now, M lives three floors above O’s floor. N lives two floors above Q’s floor. Q and M do not live on adjacent floors. There is at most one floor between P’s and R’s floor. So, the table is shown below, So, O lives just above Q’s floor. Therefore statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
