C?
stmnt 1: no info about Y, not sufficinet
stmnt 2: distance between X and Y is 9, since radius is 4 or diameter is 4, the max distance across the circle is 8.
if X on the circle, opposite the point P, Y cant lie on the circle (distance between X and Y is 9 and the diameter:distance from X to a point on the circle across the diameter is 8 only)
if X lies outside the circle, Y may or may not outside the circle. insufficient
combining both,
distance between P and X is 4.5 or X lies o/s the circle.
max distance from X to a point on the circle is 0.5+8=8.5, we need 9, so Y has to lie outside the circle. sufficient
