Question

What is the shortest distance between cities Chikmagalur and Chikkaballapur ?

Statement I. Chikkaballapur is 300 kms away from Shimoga.

Statement II. Chikmagalur is 100 kms away from Shimoga.

• A. If the data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question
• B. If the data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone is 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 given 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 given in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question

Clearly, the distance of each city from Shimoga is given in I and II. But nothing about their relative positions is mentioned. So, the distance between the two cities cannot be calculated.
