  • C. if the data in Statement I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
  • D. if the data in Statement I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.

  • Correct Answer
  • 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. 

    Explanation

    Given that Ram > Shyam, Vikram > Jay.
    Hence from this we can conclude that neither Ram nor Vikram is the shortest. And we have to find the shortest. And we have to find the shortest among them:
    Consider statement alone:
    We know that that Ram is not the shortest, either Shyam or Jay is the shortest.
    Hence (I) alone is not sufficient.
    Consider statement I alone Shyam > Vikram.
    From the given information and the information in (II), we get Ram > Shyam > Vikram > Jay.
    Hence, (II) alone is sufficient.
