  • Question
  • Read both the statements given below and answer the question. Q : Which train did Harish catch to go to office ? Statements : A. Harish missed his usual train of 4.15 p.m. A train comes in every 15 minutes. B. Harish did not catch the 4.45 p.m. train or any train after that time.


  • Options
  • A. If statement B alone is sufficient but statement A alone is not sufficient.
  • B. If statement A alone is sufficient but statement B alone is not sufficient.
  • C. If both statement together are sufficient, but neither statement alone is sufficient.
  • D. If statement A and B together are not sufficient.

  • Correct Answer
  • If statement A and B together are not sufficient. 

    Explanation

    From both statements we cannot conclude the train catched by Harish

    Since he missed at 4.15 and train coes at 4.30, 4.45, 5.00,...

    But in B given that he didn't catch the train at 4.45 and after that.

    So both statements A & B together are not sufficient to answer the question.
