Question

Towards which direction is P from R?
Statement I. S is towards west of M and north-east of R.
Statement II. P is towards south of S.

• A. If the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question,while the data in statement II alone not sufficient to answer the question;
• B. If the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question,while the data in statement I all are not sufficient to answer the question;
• C. If the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question;
• D. If the data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question;
• E. If the data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.

Answer 1

The correct option is D If the data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question;

• From statement 1, we get the leftmost image. There is no information available about P. Thus, statement 1 is NOT SUFFICIENT.
• From statement 2, we get the middle image. But there is no information about R. Thus, statement 2 is NOT SUFFICIENT.
• Combining 1 and 2, we get the rightmost image which shows that 'P' may be east of 'R', or 'P' may be south-east of 'R', or 'P' may be north-east of 'R'. Thus, the data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
