1) statement 1 alone is sufficient

Answer 2

Concept:

To solve this question we first recall the concept of statement inlogical reasoning.

The logical problems that we solve using some common sense and logic, forms the concept of logical reasoning.

Given:

Statement (1) c is shorter than only b.

Statement (2) d is taller than only a.

To find:

The sufficient statement which justifies who among the brothers a,b,c,d is the tallest.

Solution:

Statement (1) says that c is shorter than only b,  this means that c is taller than a and d only .

and since, b is taller than c and c is taller than a and c

hence, b is the tallest.

Hence, statement (1) alone is sufficient to find the tallest among a,b,c and d.

So, option (i) is the correct choice.
