In which direction is point E, with reference to point S?

I. Point D is to the East of point E and point E is to the South of point F.

II. Point F is to the North-West of point S. Point D is to the North of point S

Give answer

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 Statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question

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

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

Correct Answer: E

Solution :

[e] Statement I has no S and Statement II has no E. Hence, neither of the two statements is sufficient alone.

From Statements I and II.

Clearly, E is to the North-West of S.

So, both statements are required to answer the question.
