Question: Among M, N, D, P and K, who earns more than only the least earner among them? Statements: N earns more than M and P but less than only D. M earns more than P who earns less than K.

I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
Either I or II is sufficient
Neither I nor II is sufficient
Both I and II are sufficient

Correct Answer: Neither I nor II is sufficient

Explanation:

From I, we have: N > M, N > P, D > N. Thus, we have: D > N > M > P or D>N> P>M.

But, from II, M earns more than P i.e. D > N > M > P. Also, since P earns less than K and N earns less than only D, so we have: D>N>K>M>P or D>N>M> K > P.

Hence, either K or M earns more than only the least earner i.e. P.
