Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: Both Statements I and II together are not sufficient.
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
We must determine the direction of P with respect to Q using two spatial statements. Direction-sense DS questions test whether a unique conclusion is implied without assuming distances or collinearity.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Translate each statement to relative quadrants. With no distances, multiple placements can satisfy the constraints. We need uniqueness for a sufficient conclusion.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
Try to force a single compass word (e.g., 'north-east'). Distances remain free variables, so uniqueness fails.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Assuming equal distances or grid alignment that is not stated; reading 'west of' as a fixed offset; forcing diagonals without necessity.
Final Answer:
Both Statements I and II together are not sufficient.
