Hi
Does it matter whether A is in left or in right.
In both the cases answer will be same.
I mean to say that first time keep it in left and then try to solve and in 2nd time keep it in right then solve.. u will get same answer both the times.

IMO the answer is E.
Given: Also CD=8; AB=18
Statment1:
C is in between A and B and hence CA=CB=9. Since CD=8 hence D is also in between A and B but we have no information whether its between A and C or B and C. So BD may be 1 or 17.
Statement2:
Since we dont get any information about the placement of D in relevance to C this statement is not sufficient.
Hope this helps

AB = 18, CD = 8, BD = ?RBF3 wrote:Why is the answer D and not C on this question?
Thank you.
Statement 1 implies that C is exactly midway between A and B, which implies CA = CB = 9.
A -------------C------------- B
A -------------C----------D-- B; here BD = 1
A --D-----------C-------------B; here BD = 17
Since we don't get a definite value for BD, so statement 1 is NOT SUFFICIENT.
Statement 2 does not give any information about the exact positions of A, B, C, and D; NOT SUFFICIENT.
Combining (1) and (2) again we get the same information as from statement 1 alone, so the two statements together are also NOT sufficient.
The correct answer is E.
