DSSSB TGT CS 2023 Shift 2 – Question 010

A question is given, followed by two statements labelled I and II. Identify which of the statements is/are sufficient/necessary to answer the question.

Question:
How is Mahesh related to Bipin?

Statements:
I. Mahesh is the son of Devika.
II. Devika is the only daughter of Bipin’s father.

• Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question
• Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question
• Either statement I alone or statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question
• Both statements I and II are necessary to answer the question

1. Statement I alone: “Mahesh is the son of Devika.” This gives no relation between Devika (or Mahesh) and Bipin. Hence, Statement I alone is insufficient.
2. Statement II alone: “Devika is the only daughter of Bipin’s father.” This implies Devika is Bipin’s sister. However, Mahesh is not mentioned at all. Hence, Statement II alone is insufficient.
3. Combining Statements I and II: Devika is Bipin’s sister, and Mahesh is Devika’s son. Therefore, Mahesh is Bipin’s nephew (sister’s son / भांजा).
Hence, both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question (option d).
