Direction: 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 the question and both the statements and give answer

How far is point C from Point A?

I. A person starts from Point A, walks 12m to the south, takes a right turn and walks 2m. He then takes a left turn and walks 5m. He takes a left turn again, walks for 2m and reaches Point B. If the person takes a left turn and walks 5m, he will reach Point C.

II. A person starts from Point A, walks 12m towards east, takes a left turn and walks 4m. He then takes a left turn again and walks for 12m to reach point X. If he takes a right turn from Point X and walks 6m he will be 29m away from Point C.

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.

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.

C)  if the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.

D)  if the data in both statement I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.

E)  if the data in both statement I and II together are necessary to answer the question.

Correct Answer: A

Solution :

From I. Hence point C is 12m from Point A. From II. The direction of Point C with respect to Point X is not known. So, we can't determine how far point C is from point A. Hence statement I alone is sufficient to answer.
