Answer

Correct Answer: Neither I nor II is sufficient

Explanation

Reasoning I: K is a parent of A (and another son). Relationship of T to K is unknown ⇒ insufficient. II: T's mother has sons A and B. T could be A, B, or a daughter; the link to K is unknown ⇒ insufficient. Together, A links the two statements, but T's identity (A/B/daughter) and whether K is the same parent as T's mother are both undetermined. Multiple possibilities remain.

Answer Neither I nor II is sufficient.
