Answer 1

Answer: (C)

If the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question;

As per Statement I:

leave city X at 17.15 hrs ------ late by 45 minutes. So she left at 18.00 hrs and reached Y at 06.15 hrs next day. So total time taken=12 hrs 15 minutes

As per Statement II:

Bus stand of city X at 14.25 hrs ----- wait for 35 minutes so left at 15.00 hrs and reached Y at 03.15 hrs next day. So total time taken is 12 hrs 15 minutes.

Hence the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.

Hence option C is correct.
