Contradicting Answers

by sumithshah » Wed Aug 20, 2008 3:52 am
Hi

I have a general DS question. Lets say we have something like

IS X = 12

a) X=12
b) X=13

( Yes, I know its an idiotic questions - but I made it up to highlight a point)

From statement A, we can say Yes for sure
From statement B, we can say NO for sure.

So then the Answer to this questions would be D or E?

Would appreciate a reply.

According to the DS questions I worked on, this is impossible.
1) and 2) will never contradict, there is only one answer.
