ANSWER==> D) both of the statement can't give the answer.
STATMENT 1 tells that BAG-I have boll. so possible combination of (BAG-II,BAG-III) are(1,4) ,(2,3),... so we can't tell clearly that BAG-II have the min number of boll.

STATEMENT 2 tells BAG-III have 1 boll.. It is not sufficient to tell the number of boll in BAG-II as we have no idea about BAG-I or BAG-II.

let consider BOTH STATEMENT: then we find BAG-I+BAG-III = 5+1= 6. so their must be 4 BOLLS in BAG-II. But according to the question BAG-II contains min number of bolls.
Hence both the statement are not sufficient.
