SSC Stenographer 2026 PYQ — Question 82

SSC Stenographer - 09 Sep 2026 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q82

Who scored the highest among P and Q?
(i) P scored more than R.
(ii) Q scored more than R.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

We need to determine who scored higher between P and Q.
From Statement (i): P > R
This gives no comparison between P and Q. Hence, statement (i) alone is not sufficient.
From Statement (ii): Q > R
This also gives no comparison between P and Q. Hence, statement (ii) alone is not sufficient.
Combining Statements (i) and (ii):
Both P and Q scored more than R (P > R and Q > R). However, the relation between P and Q remains unknown (P could be greater than, less than, or equal to Q).
Therefore, neither statement is sufficient to answer the question.
