P, Q and R are three contestants, and they are participating in 100 m relay race. Who gets the first prize?

I. P gets either the third prize or the second prize, and R gets either the second prize or the first prize.
II. P, Q and R are only contestants, and Q does not get the third prize.
It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)



Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.

Combined also Insufficient because Q or R can win the race
