Logical Reasoning Sufficiency

Q: In which direction is Point X with respect to Point Y? I. Point Z is 5 km east of Y. II. Point X is 5 km north of Z.

Correct Answer: Option C (Both statements together are sufficient, but neither statement alone is sufficient.). From I, Z is East of Y. From II, X is North of Z. Combining them, X forms a right triangle with Y and Z, placing X to the Northeast of Y. Both are required.

Q: What is the shortest distance between Point A and Point B? I. A is 3 km south of C. II. B is 4 km east of C.

Correct Answer: Option C (Both statements together are sufficient, but neither statement alone is sufficient.). These statements form a right-angled triangle with legs of 3 km and 4 km meeting at C. The hypotenuse (distance between A and B) is √(3^2 + 4^2) = 5 km. Both are required.

Q: A person walks from M to N. In which direction is he walking? I. He walks 10m North from O, turns right, and walks straight to N. II. M is exactly halfway between O and N.

Correct Answer: Option A (Statement I alone is sufficient, but Statement II alone is not.). Statement I states he walks North, turns right (facing East), and walks to N. Thus, he is walking East. Statement I alone is sufficient. Statement II is insufficient without knowing orientation.

Q: Town P is in which direction of Town Q? I. Town R is south of Town Q. II. Town P is east of Town R.

Correct Answer: Option C (Both statements together are sufficient, but neither statement alone is sufficient.). From I, R is South of Q. From II, P is East of R. Therefore, P is to the Southeast of Q. Both statements are required.

Q: Is Point M east of Point N? I. M is north of O, which is east of N. II. M is directly northeast of N.

Correct Answer: Option D (Each statement alone is sufficient.). From I, M is North of East, meaning M is Northeast of N. This definitively answers 'No' to the question 'Is M East of N?'. From II, M is Northeast, which also definitively answers 'No'. Each statement alone is sufficient.
