- if the data in Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question but the data in Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
- if the data in Statements II alone is sufficient to answer the question but the data in Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
- if the data in Statement I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
- if the data in Statement I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
- if the data in Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question but the data in Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
Correct Option: C
Let x be the average height of the class and n be the number of students in the class.
Consider statements I alone
xn - 56 = (x + 1)(x -1)
⇒ x + n = 57 .............(i)
Hence, the value of x cannot be found. So, I alone is not sufficient.
Consider statement I alone:
xn - 42 = (x + 1)(n - 1)
⇒ x - n = 41 .............(ii)
Hence, the value of x cannot be found. So, II alone is not sufficient.
Both the statements together are suficient as the value of x can be found by solving (i) and (ii)
