Solutions

Hence, the data in the statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

S2. Ans. (e)
Sol. By combining both the statement we can find E sits immediate right of C.

S3. Ans. (d)
Sol. From Statement I: C, T > L, U; we can’t decide the oldest.
From Statement II: C > Q > L; We can’t decide the oldest.
Combining Statements, I and II: As, there is no relation between T and C we can’t decide who is oldest.

S4. Ans. (e)
Sol. Combining Statements I and II: we can eliminate ‘she’ and ‘fast’ then women is coded as “to”. Hence data in both the Statements I and II together is necessary to answer the question.
