The distance of CA is not given so the position of A is not determined with respect to E, it may be northwest, west or southwest.

2) B is to the west of E. A is to the southwest of C. D is to the northeast of B. A is to the west of B.

F1 Pankaj Shraddha 24.11.2020 D9

In statement II, A and E is definitely in the same horizontal line, so A is in the west direction of E.

Thus, 'only the facts of statement II are sufficient to answer the question' is the correct answer.
