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: Both I and II are sufficient

Explanation:

From I, we have: M > V > Q.

Combining the above two, we have: P>T>M>V>Q i.e. Q < p=""><>

Clearly, M is in the middle.
