Directions: Each of the following consists of a question and 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:
A 7 letter meaningful English word is written on a notice board. Find the second letter of that word?
Statement I : First, Third and last letter of the word are same vowels. There are two vowels between L and T. L is placed before T and V.
Statement II : All the odd numbered places are occupied with vowels. The word starts and ends with same letter. Only three letters are there between L and T. V is exactly in the middle.
Options
- AIf the data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
- BIf the data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
- CIf the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
- DIf the data in both statement I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
Correct answer
C.
If the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
Step-by-step solution
Checking statement I:
The only way in which the above hints can form a meaningful word is as follows:
The second letter is 'L'.
Checking statement II
The second letter is 'L'.
Hence data in statement II alone is also sufficient.
Hence data in either statement I alone or statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
Hence option C is correct.
The only way in which the above hints can form a meaningful word is as follows:
| E | L | E | V | A | T | E |
| Vowel | Vowel | Vowel | Vowel |
The second letter is 'L'.
Hence data in statement I alone is sufficient.
Checking statement II
The only way in which the above hints can form a meaningful word is as follows:
| E | L | E | V | A | T | E |
| Vowel | Vowel | Vowel | Vowel |
The second letter is 'L'.
Hence data in statement II alone is also sufficient.
Hence data in either statement I alone or statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
Hence option C is correct.
