Statements:
(I) Green and yellow coloured houses are constructed at the extreme ends of the row.
(II) Violet and blue coloured houses are immediate neighbouring houses of green and yellow coloured houses, respectively.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Data in Statements I and II together is sufficient to answer the question.
From statement I: Green/yellow _ _ _ Green/yellow
So, statement I alone is not sufficient.
From statement II: We didnot find the position of any house so, statement II alone is not sufficient.
By combining both statements: Green/yellow Violet/blue Red Violet/blue Green/yellow
So, Red coloured house is exactly in the middle of the row.
Hence, Data in Statements I and II together is sufficient to answer the question.
