Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Statement II alone is sufficient; Statement I alone is not sufficient.
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
We must identify the birth year for a Feb 29 birthday using leap-year logic and a completion-age cue.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Completion of 4 years on the same calendar date implies birth 4 years earlier on that date.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
2012 and 2008 are both leap years; the 4-year gap is consistent.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Confusing 'turns 4 on' with 'has completed 4 years sometime before'; the exact phrasing pins the date.
Final Answer:
B — Statement II alone suffices (Birth year = 2008).
