• 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, Durgapur is 8 km to the north of Meerapur which is 162 km away from Achalpur. But, no information can be deduced about shortest distance between Achalpur and Durgapur. Thus, NOT SUFFICIENT.
• From statement 2, Achalpur is 69 km away from Bijnaur which is 28 km away from Durgapur. Again, no information can be deduced about shortest distance between Achalpur and Durgapur. Thus, NOT SUFFICIENT.
• Both the information lack the requisite information, viz direction of Achalpur with respect to Durgapur.
• Hence, the data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
