How many brothers does Sunny have? (Sunny is a boy) 

Statements:


I.Neelima, Sunny’s mother, has three children.

Options:
A) 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.
B) 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.
C) The data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
D) The data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
E) The data in both statement I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
Solution:
Ans-(e); From I, Sunny is a boy and his mother has three children. So, excluding Sunny, there are two children, but their gender is not specified. So, we can’t find how many brothers does Sunny have. Hence, I alone is not sufficient.

From II, As Keshav has no son but only a granddaughter, she must be the daughter of Neelima. Thus, Neelima has only one daughter. Hence, IIalone is not sufficient. Now, using I, Sunny has only one brother.Thus, both statements I and II are necessary to answer the question.
