as I and II. If the data given in I alone is sufficient to answer the question then choice (1) is the
correct answer. If the data given in II alone is sufficient to answer the question, then choice (2) is
the correct answer. If both I and II put together are sufficient to answer the question by neither
statement alone is sufficient, then Choice (3) is the correct answer. If both I and II put together
are not sufficient to answer the question and additional data is needed, then choice (4) is the correct
answer.
