How many children are there in the group? Sangita has scored more marks than 12 children in the group. Reena has scored less than Sangita.

Directions: the question below consists of two statements numbered I and II are given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question.

How many children are there in the group?

  • Sangita has scored more marks than 12 children in the group.
  • Reena has scored less than Sangita.

1). Data in Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
2). Data in Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
3). Data either in Statement I alone or in Statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
4). Data even in both the Statements I and II are not sufficient to answer the question.

This Question has 3 answers.

Statement I: “Sangita has scored more marks than 12 children in the group”.

Now, there can be more children present in the group who would have scored more than Sangita.

So, the exact number of total children in the group cannot be determined.

Statement II: “Reena has scored less than Sangita”.

This statement alone gives us no idea about the total children.

Combining I and II:

We understand that Reena has scored more than Sangita and 11 other children.

But it still doesn’t give us any idea about the total no. of children in the class. Hence, both Statements are not sufficient to answer the following question.

Option (4)
