• A. if the question can be answered using A alone but not by using B alone.
• B. if the question can be answered using B alone but not by using A alone.
• C. if the question can be answered using either of the statements alone.
• D. if the question can be answered using both the statements together but not by either of the statements alone.
• E. if the question cannot be answered on the basis of the two statements.

Hint:

In sports score DS problems, combine first-half deficit with total goals to deduce final outcome.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

A alone: 4 goals in second half, but no info on total opponent goals in first half → insufficient. B alone: Opponent scored 4 total, but no info on Mahindra’s goals → insufficient. Together: Trailing by 3 at half-time means opponent had 3 more. If opponent total = 4, then first-half opponent goals = 3 or 4. Using A, second-half Mahindra scored 4 → can deduce final score and determine win/loss.
