II. Sachin's rank from the top is two ranks below Deepti who ranks `23^(rd)` from the bottom.

Options

A. the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question,
B. the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question,
C. the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question,
D. the data given in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question,

Answer

C

Explanation

From I, we know that in a class of 25 students, Amit ranks `18^(th)` from the bottom and `8^(th)` from the top. Sachin is three ranks above Amit and so, Sachin ranks `5^(th)` from the top.
From II, Deepti ranks `23^(rd)` from the bottom and hence, `3^(rd)` from the top. Sachin, being 2 ranks below Deepti, is, thus, `5^(th)` from the top.
