Question: Is P < Q?

Statements:
I. |P|= 146
II. |Q| = 987
A Only one of the statements, alone, is sufficient to answer the question but other statement is not.
B Both statements I and II together are sufficient to answer the question asked but neither statement alone is sufficient.
C Each statement alone is sufficient to answer the question.
D Statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question asked and additional data to the problem is needed.

• |P|=146, so P=146 or -146
  |Q|=987, so Q=987or -987
  For P=146 and Q=-987, P>Q
  So answer is (D) Statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question asked and additional data to the problem is needed.

• option b
  by knowing both values we can decide p is smaller

• Option D...as from the statements we can't determine P is less than Q or not..

• D. if P is 146 and Q is -987, then P becomes greater than Q contradicting the question.
