AnswerB.
II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
C.
Either I or II is sufficient
D.
Neither I nor II is sufficient
E.
Both I and II are sufficient
Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
From I, we have: B > T, B > C, V > B. Thus, V is heavier than each one of B, T and C. But V is not the heaviest. So, E is the heaviest.Thus, we have the order. E>V>B>T>C or E>V>B>C>T. Clearly, B is third from the top.
