Quickly eliminate (1) and (2) alone, since neither mentions all 3 points.

Combined: we don't know the relative directions of each point. We're going to be able to draw them in 2 different ways, which will give us 2 different answers: choose (e).

if you were categorising this question ... how would you categorise it ? Would you say it is a number properties problem ? What is this question aiming to test ?

It's a number properties question, but what it's really testing is whether you're making bad assumptions. Some test takers will assume that the points appear in the order listed, but of course veterans of the GMAT know that it's dangerous to make any assumptions in data sufficiency.

Stuart,

Can we safely assume that if given a point U and V on a numberline and if V is to the right of point U, then V > U always?
