You are given a question and two statements. Identify which of the statements is/are necessary / sufficient to answer the question. Question: Beena is elder than Meena and Swathi is younger than Kavi. Who among them is the youngest? Statements: I. Swathi is younger than Beena. II. Kavi is younger than Meena. Correct Answer Data in II alone is sufficient

Age order according to given question:

Beena > Meena

Kavi > Swathi

Statement I:

“Swathi is younger than Beena” (i.e Beena > Swathi)

There are two possibilities of the age order according to this statement:

1) Beena > Meena > Kavi > Swathi

2) Beena > Kavi > Swathi > Meena

So, “Statment I” is not sufficient to answer the question.

Statement II:

“Kavi is younger than Meena” (i.e Meena > Kavi)

There is only one possibility of the age order according to this statement:

Beena > Meena > Kavi > Swathi

So, Swathi is the youngest.

 ∴ Data in Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the given question.

Hence, “Data in II alone is sufficient” is the correct answer.
