Question

Question

This question was previously asked in

UPSC Civil Services Prelims (CSAT) Official Paper-II (Held On: 5 June 2022)

Answer 1

The correct answer is Option 4.

Key Points

Statement–1 : City Q is 18 km from city R.
Statement–2 : City P is 43 km from city R.
Here, direction of P with respect to Q or R is not given, So we are not able to find the distance between Q and P .

So, data is missing.

Hence, the correct answer is option(4) i.e., Both Statement–1 and Statement–2 are not sufficient to answer the question.
