Question

A question is given, followed by two statements. Identify which of the statements is/are sufficient to answer the question.
Question:
How is Virat related to Mayank’s son?
Statements:
I. Mayank’s wife is the sister of Virat’s father’s only son.
II. Mayank is the son-in-law of Rohit, whose only daughter Sheela is the sister of Virat.

• A. Statement I alone is sufficient
• B. Statement II alone is sufficient
• C. Either statement I alone or statement II alone is sufficient
• D. Both statements I and II are needed

Hint:

In questions about sufficiency, look for whether one statement alone gives enough information to answer the question, or if both are needed.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

- From statement I, we can deduce that Mayank’s wife is the sister of Virat’s father’s only son, which implies that Mayank’s wife is Virat’s sister-in-law, and thus Mayank is Virat’s brother-in-law. This helps answer how Virat is related to Mayank’s son.
- Statement II gives additional information that Mayank is the son-in-law of Rohit, and Sheela is Virat’s sister, which also helps in concluding the relationship.
