Solutions

Solution (1-5):
S1. Ans. (e)
Sol. From statements I and II together, we get P > Q > M > O, ___ > N and P > R
Hence, the data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.

S4. Ans. (d)
Sol. From statements I and II together, we get that the place of R is not certain. So, the data in both the statements I and II together are not necessary to answer the question.
