Explanation:

- Here’s the thing:

- The question is asking, “How many votes did A get?”

- Statement I: “D outranked E by 40 votes.” This just tells you about the difference between D and E, nothing about A.

- Statement II: “A won the election by a 42% majority.” The phrase “42% majority” is unclear—does it mean A got 42% of the votes more than the nearest rival, or did A get 42% of all votes? Without knowing the total number of votes or what 42% majority actually means, you’re stuck.

- Even putting I and II together doesn’t help—you still don’t know the total number of votes or enough specifics to answer exactly how many votes A got.

- Option 1 says either I or II alone (but not both) is sufficient—not true.

- Option 2 says both I and II alone are sufficient—not true.

- Option 3 says you need both together—they still don’t get you there.

- Option 4 says you need more information—this is correct.

- Option:4, 4 is the right call.
