Do we have to consider both statements together or seperately ?
if it is together then
Does "Goes to school" from stmt 1 has same meaning as "Attended the class" in stmt 2?

Question:

DIRECTIONS: Given question is followed by two statements, I and II. Answer the question by selecting the correct alternative.

Question:

Did Ramu play cricket today?


Statements

I.   If Ramu goes to school, then he plays cricket. If it is not raining, then Ramu goes to school. It is raining today.

II.  If Ramu plays cricket, then he does not attend the class. If Ramu wakes up early, then he attends the class. Ramu woke up early today.

Options:
A) if the question can be answered by using statement I alone but not by using statement II alone.
B) if the question can be answered by using statement II alone but not by using statement I alone.
C)

if the question can be answered by using both the statements together but not by either of the

statements alone.

D)

if the question can be answered by using either of the statements alone.

E)

if the question cannot be answered on the basis of the two statements.
