Which shelf is second shelf from the top? Statement I: J is three racks below K, which is a prime numbered shelf. More than one shelf is between J and P. M is two racks below O. N is above L but below O. Statement II: Only one shelf is between P and K. K is three racks above J, which is a prime numbered shelf. N is one shelf below M. Only one shelf is between M and O.
    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, J is three racks below K, which is a prime numbered shelf. More than one shelf is between J and P. M is two racks below O. N is above L but below O. We get: Shelf O is second shelf from the top. So, data given in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question. From statement II alone, Only one shelf is between P and K. K is three racks above J, which is a prime numbered shelf. N is one shelf below M. Only one shelf is between M and O. We get: Shelf O is second shelf from the top. 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.
