Question

    Each of the questions below consists of a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. Read both the statements and Give answer :

    How far is point X from point Y?

    I. Point X is 6 m to the south of point U. Point Z is 9m to the west of point X. Point V is 3 m to the north of point Z. Point W is 12 m to the east of Point V. Point Y is 3 m to the south of point W.

    II. Point Y is 10m to the east of point X. Point U is 8m to the west of point Z. Point X is to the east of Z. Point Z is the midpoint of the lines formed by joining points U and X.

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

    Solution

    From I. Distance between X and Y = VW – ZX = 12 – 9 = 3 m. Hence statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question. From II. Distance between X and Y is already given in the question. Hence statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. Hence the data either in statement I alone or in statement II are sufficient to answer the question.
