Ram is taller than Shyam and Jay is shorter than Vikram. Who is the shortest among them?
(I) Ram is the tallest.
(II) Shyam is taller than Vikram.
Given that Ram > Shyam, Vikram > Jay.
Hence from this we can conclude that neither Ram nor Vikram is the shortest. And we have to find the shortest. And we have to find the shortest among them:
Consider statement alone:
We know that that Ram is not the shortest, either Shyam or Jay is the shortest.
Hence (I) alone is not sufficient.
Consider statement I alone Shyam > Vikram.
From the given information and the information in (II), we get Ram > Shyam > Vikram > Jay.
Hence, (II) alone is sufficient.
