The question given below is made up of two statements I and II. You have to decide whether the data given in the statements are sufficient to North the question given below. Read both the statements and choose the correct option.
In which direction is pillar P with respect to pillar Q?
I. Pillar P is to the south of pillar X, which is to the east of pillar B. Column Q is to the north of column B.
II. Pillar P is to the south-east of pillar B. Pillar X is to the south-east of pillar Q.
A. The data in statements I and II together are sufficient to North the question.
B. The data in statements I and II together are not sufficient to North the question.
C. The data in statement II alone are sufficient to North the question, whereas the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to North the question.
D. The data in statement I alone are sufficient to North the question, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to North the question.
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
From Statement I: X is East of B, P is South of X. Q is North of B. Because Q is strictly above B, and P is to the right (East) and down (South) relative to X (and thus B), P will unequivocally be South-East of Q. I is sufficient. Statement II lacks precise anchoring ties.
