- if statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.
- if statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
- if both statement I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
- if both statement I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
- if statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.
Correct Option: C
If we look at Statement I
i = p - 17 and r = p - 103
Hence, we cannot ind how many each received so this statement is not sufficient enough.
Now by considering Statement II alone.
p + i + r = 170
Hence, we cannot find how many each received. so, this statement is not sufficient enough.
Using I sand II together, we get the value of p and the value of q and r.
