Difficulty: Hard
Correct Answer: Both Statements I and II together are not sufficient.
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
We must find P's relation to J from partial family information that allows multiple consistent family trees.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Enumerate models consistent with both statements and observe whether P→J is unique (mother vs stepmother vs other).
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
Sibling info (I) is compatible with either model; the 'one son and two daughters' clause does not resolve J's identity.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Assuming spouses are unique without explicit mention; ignoring step-relations.
Final Answer:
D — Together not sufficient.
