Consider the Question and two Statements given below in respect of three cities P, Q and R in a State:
Question: How far is city P from city Q?
Statement-1: City Q is 18 km from city R.
Statement-2: City P is 43 km from city R.
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the Question and the Statements?
Statement-1 alone is sufficient to answer the Question
Statement-2 alone is sufficient to answer the Question
Both Statement-1 and Statement-2 are sufficient to answer the Question
Both Statement-1 and Statement-2 are not sufficient to answer the Question
Solution
Statement 1 gives the distance Q-R and Statement 2 gives P-R, but the relative positions/directions of P and Q with respect to R are unknown. The distance P-Q could range anywhere depending on the geometry. Hence even both statements together are not sufficient.
