| II. Kanika is eight places below Ayushi. Ayushi is ten places below Divya. |
A) if the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question.
B) 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.
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. Kanika's rank from the bottom - 7th Anish's rank from the top = 9th So, Kanika's rank from the top = (35 - 7) + 1 = 29th \[\therefore \]Sanjana's rank from the top \[=\frac{29+9}{2}=19\text{th}\] So, Kanika's position from Sanjana = 29 - 19 = 10th Thus, I alone is sufficient to answer. From II. Sanjana's position is not mentioned. Thus, II alone is not sufficient.
