Which city is to the North-east of City A? I. City B is to North of city A, Cities C and D are to the East and West of City B respectively. II. City M is to the South of City A and City E is to the East of City M, city P is to the North of City M. |
Data in I alone are sufficient to answer the question Data in II alone are sufficient to answer the question Data either in statement I alone or in Statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question Data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question |
Data in I alone are sufficient to answer the question |
I. City B is to North of city A, Cities C and D are to the East and West of City B respectively. From this statement, we can conclude that City B is north of City A. Since cities C and D are east and west of City B, respectively, it means that City C is east of City A, and City D is west of City A. Since City B is north of City A, and Cities C and D are on either side of City B, it means that Cities C and D must be on either side of City A as well. This implies that the city north-east of City A is either City C or the one that is north of City B (which is not mentioned). However, we can conclude that there is a city north-east of City A without knowing its exact identity. Thus, Data in I alone are sufficient to answer the question. |
