    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

    Now, from statement I, F is taller than G and I. J is taller than H, who is taller than F. Neither G nor I is the shortest. So, we have, J > H > F > G/I > I/G > K So, J is the tallest. Therefore, statement I alone is sufficient. Now, from statement II, Number of persons taller than H is equal to number of persons shorter than I. F is the 3rd tallest. K is the shortest. J is taller than G. So, we have, J > H/I > F > G > I/H > K So, J is the tallest. Therefore, statement II alone is sufficient.
