In a 100 m race, Bipin, Chandan, Danny and Feroz won the first four prizes, not necessarily in the same order. Each of these four sprinters hails from a different city among Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai. Who got the first prize?

A. Bipin is not from Kolkata and didn't get the first prize. The sprinter from Chennai is the winner. Danny is from Mumbai.
B. Feroz is either from Delhi or from Chennai.

Options
- one statement is sufficient and the other statement is not sufficient to answer the question.
- either statement taken alone is sufficient to answer the question.
- the two statements together are sufficient but neither statement alone is sufficient to answer the question.
- even both statements together are not sufficient to answer the question

CORRECT ANSWER : the two statements together are sufficient but neither statement alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Discussion Board
wrong answer

Let''s analyze both statements separately to see if they are individually sufficient to determine the winner of the first prize in the 100 m race:

Statement A:
1. Bipin is not from Kolkata and didn''t get the first prize.
2. The sprinter from Chennai is the winner.
3. Danny is from Mumbai.

From statement A, we know that the winner is from Chennai (point 2). However, we don''t have enough information about the other sprinters'' cities to uniquely determine the winner. We know Danny is from Mumbai, but we don''t know the cities of Chandan and Feroz.

Statement B:
1. Feroz is either from Delhi or from Chennai.

From statement B, we only have information about Feroz''s potential cities. We know he can be from Delhi or Chennai, but we don''t know anything about the other sprinters or the winner.

When we combine both statements:
- The winner is from Chennai (from statement A).
- Feroz is either from Delhi or Chennai (from statement B).

Unfortunately, even when combining both statements, we still don''t have enough information about the cities of the other sprinters to uniquely determine the winner. We know Feroz is not from Chennai (as the winner is from Chennai), but we don''t know if Feroz is from Delhi or Chandan''s city, and we have no information about Chandan''s city.

Therefore, both statements, when taken individually or together, are not sufficient to give a definite answer to the question of who won the first prize in the 100 m race.
