Data Sufficiency
Difficulty: Easy
Choose an option
Answer
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II is sufficient
Explanation
Geometry insight Knowing distances from Rampur only gives radii 20 km and 15 km around Rampur. The Devipur–Durgapur distance could be anywhere from |20−15| = 5 km (same ray) up to 35 km (opposite directions).
Conclusion Neither I nor II is sufficient to give a unique shortest distance.
