The question below has two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. Read both the statements and give the answer.

How G is related to P
I. A is the father of P.
II. D is the son of G

A. The data in the statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in the
statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question;
B. The data in the statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in the
statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question;
C. The data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question;
D. The data given in both the statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.

Answer 1

The correct answer is option B. either Statement I nor Statement II provides enough information independently to establish how G is related to P. Even when considered together, they do not provide a link between G and P. Therefore, the correct answer is that the given data are not sufficient to answer the question.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how G is related to P, we need to establish the familial connections based on the given statements. We have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question:

• Statement I: A is the father of P.
• Statement II: D is the son of G.

Statement I tells us the relationship between A and P but does not mention G. Therefore, it cannot help us determine G's relationship to P. Statement II tells us that D is G's son but does not connect D or G to P or A. Consequently, neither statement alone provides enough information.

When we consider both statements together, we still cannot establish a direct relationship between G and P because there is no linking information connecting A, P, D, or G. Thus, we do not have enough information to answer the question with the data provided.

The correct option is: D. The data given in both the statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
