    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

    Solution

    From statement I alone, P is taller than M and N. O is taller than L, who is not shorter than P. So, we have, O > L > P > M/N > N/M From statement II alone, Number of persons taller than L is equal to number of persons shorter than M. P is taller than N. So, we cannot determine the tallest person.
