Given below is a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements is sufficient to answer the question. You should use the given data and your knowledge of Mathematics to choose between the possible answers.

What is the time now?

I. After 20 minutes, the time will be 7 pm.

II. The next day will start after 5 hours from now.

A The data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

B The data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

C The data in statement I alone or in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.

D The data in both the statements I and II is not sufficient to answer the question.

E The data in both the statements I and II together is necessary to answer the question.

Solution

Correct Answer: Option C

From statement I:

After 20 minutes, the time will be 7 pm.
