Option 4 : The data in both the Statements I and II is not sufficient to answer the question.
Assume that the number of rows is R & that of column is C.
∴ the number of trees planted in the field in rows and columns = R × C
From statement 1:
Given that, number of columns is more than the number of rows by 4.
∴ C = R + 4
∴ Using the statement alone we can find infinite number of (C, R) pairs. So no definite conclusion can be drawn.
From statement 2:
Given that, number of trees in each column is an even number.
We need to know the value of C × R.
The information C = 2k does not help to get the value of C × R.
So no definite conclusion can be drawn.
From statement 1 & 2 together:
We have got one relation between C & R from first statement. Another independent equation relating C & R is needed to get definite values of C & R.
So, the data in both the Statements I and II is not sufficient to answer the question.
