C) If the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
D) If the data in statement I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
E) If the data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
From I. Since Magazine C was sold at least before three magazines, it was sold on Mon, Tue or Wed. But F was sold on Tue. So C was sold on Mon or Wed. Again, it can't be Mon because then D would be sold on Tue. Hence, C was sold on Wed and D on Thu. Thus, two magazines were sold after D. From II. At least four magazine were sold after E. So, E was sold on Mon or Tue. Hence, II is not sufficient.
