Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
From Statement I: Rohan is south of Tanya (so Rohan is directly below Tanya). From Statement II: Pankaj is east of Tanya (so Pankaj is directly to the right of Tanya). Combining both, Tanya is the reference point: Rohan is south of Tanya and Pankaj is east of Tanya — therefore Rohan is to the South-West of Pankaj. Statement I alone: gives Rohan relative to Tanya but nothing about Pankaj → insufficient.
Statement II alone: gives Pankaj relative to Tanya but nothing about Rohan → insufficient.
Both together: give fixed relative positions → sufficient.
