In such questions, you can directly check with substituting values.
For eg, take m=4, n=6
option 1. m-2 = 2, n+2 = 8 ( not consecutive so try for opposite values, m =6, n=4)
m-2 = 4, n+2 = 6 (right --> m>n -----------so option 1 is correct as u can answer if m>n)
option 2. m+2 = 6, n-2 = 4 ( are consecutive so try for opposite values m=6,n=4)
m+2 = 8, n-2 = 2 (right --> m>n -----------so option 2 is correct as u can answer if m>n)
Both are independently correct so correct answer is D
Hi siddhu161,
On DS, the (1) and (2) are termed as the
Statements, NOT as the
Options. The options indeed are the following fixed five choices:
A. Statement (1) alone is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
B. Statement (2) alone is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
C. Both statements taken together are sufficient to answer the question, but neither statement alone is sufficient.
D. Each statement alone is sufficient.
E. Statements (1) and (2) together are not sufficient, and additional data is needed to answer the question.
Further, it's all about the
Sufficiency, NOTHING about the
Correctness of a statement there, because the Statements on the DS are
ALWAYS CORRECT.
I'm sure that it won't confuse you call them otherwise, but it could confuse your tender readers sometimes.
