This section consists of problems in which a question on any topic such as coding- decoding , puzzle test , blood relations etc , is put forward , followed by certain statement containing facts providing clues to solve the questions ,.
the candidate is required to find out which of the given statements is / are sufficient to answer the given questions .
Steps in solving Data Sufficiency questions :
These type of questions consists of problems on any reasoning topics like blood relation, coding-decoding, direction test, ranking, seating arrangement, etc. followed by statements containing clues to solve the question
· The candidates are supposed to find out which of the given statements is or are sufficient to solve the given question
· This section tests the candidate’s efficiency to determine the information necessary to solve the given problem
· We have to make sure whether the question can be solved with the help of information provided in the 1st statement or 2nd statement or together in the 1st and the 2nd statement
· We are not supposed to assume anything beyond the information given in the question and the following statements
Each of the questions given below consists of a statement and / or a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statement(s) is / are sufficient to answer the given question. Read the both statements and
Give answer (A) if the data in Statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question.
Give answer (B) if the 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.
Give answer (C) if the data either in Statement I or in Statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
Give answer (D) if the data even in both Statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
Give answer(E) if the data in both Statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
