Answer
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II is sufficient
Explanation
Apply the gap I: With a gap of 10 students, Nitin could be 10 ranks above or below Deepak. Without Deepak's rank ⇒ insufficient. II: Deepak is 20th, but Nitin's relation to Deepak is unknown ⇒ insufficient. Together: Nitin could be 10th or 30th from the top, both valid in a class of 40 ⇒ still not unique.
Answer Neither I nor II is sufficient.
