Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is Option 4.
Key Point:
- Given : Statement-1: Lecture F is preceded by A followed by C. Statement-2: No lecture after lecture B .
- Case 1 : AFC_ _ B
- Case 2 : _AFC_B
- Case 3 : _ _ AFCB
- It’s pretty evident that neither of the two statements is sufficient alone. So, even by using both the statements we cannot determine the answer.
- Even on combining the two, we get multiple possible cases
- Hence in Statement 1 there are many possibilities.
- There may be even more cases as it’s not necessary that A, F and C are consequent lectures.
- Hence Option 4 is correct.
