Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: Both statements I and II together are sufficient, but neither alone is sufficient.
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
The task is to judge sufficiency (not to output Yes/No), for deciding whether V is B’s granddaughter given two partial family statements.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
To know if V is B’s granddaughter, we must connect V to B via B’s child. From I, F is child of T, and T is child of B ⇒ F is B’s grandchild. From II, V is child of F ⇒ V is B’s great-grandchild, not granddaughter.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
Neither I nor II alone mentions both generations needed to classify V relative to B; together they settle it uniquely.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Confusing granddaughter with great-granddaughter; overlooking that “sister/brother” implies same parent (B).
Final Answer:
Both statements together are sufficient; neither alone is sufficient.
