Question

A. Deepak Thakur, the Indian striker, scored 3 goals in the last 5 min of the match.
B. Korea scored a total of 3 goals in the match.

• A. The question can be answered by one of the statements alone but not by the other.
• B. The question can be answered by using either statement alone.
• C. The question can be answered by using both the statements together, but cannot be answered by using either statement alone.
• D. The question cannot be answered even by using both statements together.

Hint:

Ensure you have complete information about both the teams' scores and their performance in order to determine the outcome of the match.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Statement A provides that Deepak Thakur scored 3 goals in the last 5 minutes, which could indicate that the Indian team has a chance to win. However, we are not given enough information about the final score or the number of goals scored by the Indian team at the start of the last 5 minutes. Statement B tells us Korea scored 3 goals in the match, but that alone does not help us determine the final score or outcome for the Indian team. Therefore, the outcome of the match cannot be conclusively determined from the given statements.
