    2. if the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.
    3. if the data either in statements I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question; and
    4. if the data given in both the statement I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question; and

    5. if the data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
Correct Option: C

Feb 29 can occur only in a leap year. 2008 happens to be the only leap years between 2005 and 2011. Hence Yesir was born on Feb 29, 2008. Using Calendar Method we can find out the day. Hence I is sufficient.
From II: Yasir was born on Feb 29, 2008 (2012 -4 =2008). hence II is also sufficient.
