Solutions

S1. Ans. (d)
Sol. From both statements, we can’t get the answer. So, data given in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer.

S2. Ans. (d)
Sol. From both statements, we can’t find the answer. So, data given in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer.

S3. Ans. (d)
Sol. From both statements, we can’t get the answer. So, data given in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer.

S4. Ans. (d)
Sol. From both statements, we can’t find out the relation between N and J. Hence, data given in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer.

S5. Ans. (b)
Sol. From Statement I, F is taller than E & J. Neither G nor H is shorter than F. I is shorter than E but not shortest. H is not the tallest person, so, G > H > F > E > I > J
