Answer & Explanation From I, U < S < V < T Because it is given, S is only faster than U. Thus, S is second slowest. From I, ‘He knows about you’ —- ‘ 3 12 7 4’ … (i) ‘He knows everything’ —- 7 6 3 … (ii) From (i) and (ii) ‘He knows’ —- either 7, 3 or 3, 7 We can’t find the code of ‘about’ From II, ‘It is about you’ —- 4 5 8 12 Hence, both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question. Except triangle all are 3 dimensional.
