      A Data given in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question while the data given in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Data given in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question while the data given in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Data given either in statement I alone or in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Data given in statement I and II together is necessary to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Data given in statement I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      From statement I alone, B lives three floors below A. As many persons live below B as above C. D lives three floors below C. Only one person lives between D and E. H lives one floor above G. F doesn't live on a prime numbered floor. We get: G lives on 2nd floor. So, data given in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question. From statement II alone, F doesn't live on the topmost floor. C lives one floor above E. More than four persons live below E. Only one person lives between D and E. As many persons live below D as above A. H lives two floors above B. G lives below H. More than one person lives between B and A. We get:   G lives on 2nd floor. So, data given in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. Therefore, data given either in statement I alone or in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
