On a TV channel, four movies A, B, C, and D were screened, one on each day, on four consecutive days, but not necessarily in that order. On which day was movie C screened? I. The first movie was screened on 23rd Tuesday and was followed by movie D. II. Movie A was not screened on 25th, and one movie was screened between serials A and B.
- Data in both the Statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
- Data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.
- Data in statements I alone or in Statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
- Data in both the Statements I and II are not sufficient to answer the question.
Correct answer: Data in both the Statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
Solution
Statement I tells us that one movie was on 23rd Tuesday and was followed by D, but it does not uniquely place C. Statement II gives a spacing relation between A and B and excludes A from 25th, but still does not fix C. Together, the two statements are sufficient to determine the day of C.
