Data Sufficiency — Relationships: Determine how F is related to P. Statement I: P has two sisters, M and N. Statement II: F's mother is the sister of M's father. Decide which statements are sufficient to answer the question. Choose the correct sufficiency option.

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: Both statements I and II together are sufficient, but neither alone is sufficient.

Explanation:


Target
Identify F's relationship to P.


Check Statement I
P has sisters M and N. No information about F ⇒ insufficient.


Check Statement II
F's mother is sister of M's father. No link to P unless we know where M stands with P ⇒ insufficient.


Combine I + II
From I: M is P's sister ⇒ M's father is P's father.From II: F's mother is sister of P's father ⇒ F's mother is P's paternal aunt.Therefore, F is the child of P's paternal aunt ⇒ F is P's cousin.


Final Answer
Both statements I and II together are sufficient, but neither alone is sufficient.
