Read the given question and decide which of the following statements are sufficient to answer the question. Question: The letters A, T, M and E are part of a word, which of the four letters appears first in that word? Statements: 1. A appears at the second position. 2. E appears last. Correct Answer Both the statements are insufficient.

1. A appears at the second position.

  •  _ A ...
  • Here, there is no information given about the letters of T, M, and E. Therefore, statement 1 alone is not sufficient.

2. E appears last.

  •  _ _ _ E(last)
  • No information is given about the letters A, T, and M. Therefore, statement 2 alone is not sufficient.
  • From statements 1, and 2:-
  • T/M  A  M/T  E
  • The first letter is either T or M. It is also possible that there are more than 4 letters in the word.
  1. Here, statements 1, and 2 together are insufficient.

Hence, "option 1" is the correct answer.
