In the data given below, there is a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. Read both the statements and select an appropriate answer. Question: Who is tallest among L, M, N, O and P Statement I: N is shorter than L, M is shorter than only P. Statement II: O is the shortest, L is taller than N and O.?

Option 1 : Only Statement I is sufficient to answer the question.

By using, Statement I: N is shorter than L, M is shorter than only P.

L > N and P > M > ___ > ___ > ___.

So from statement I alone, we can say that P is the tallest among L, M, N, O and P.

P > M >___ > ___ > ___.

M is shorter than only P means P will be tallest in among them and M will be second tallest. 

Thus, Statement I alone is sufficient.

By using, Statement II: O is the shortest, L is taller than N and O.

L > N,O and ___ > ___ > ___ > ___ > O

So from statement II alone, we can not say that who is the tallest among L, M, N, O and P. 

Thus, Statement II alone is not sufficient.

Hence, only statement I is sufficient to answer the question.
