DS family relation question

by harsh.champ » Thu Feb 04, 2010 3:37 am
How is Bill related to Betty?

(1) Cindy, the wife of Bill's only brother Chris does not have any siblings.
(2) Betty is Cindy's brother in law's wife.

1. Statement 1 alone is sufficient but statement 2 alone is not sufficient to answer the question asked.
2. Statement 2 alone is sufficient but statement 1 alone is not sufficient to answer the question asked.
3. Both statements 1 and 2 together are sufficient to answer the question but neither statement is sufficient alone.
4. Each statement alone is sufficient to answer the question.
5. Statements 1 and 2 are not sufficient to answer the question asked and additional data is needed to answer the
statements.

yes i agree c... i drew this out and made the mistake of using what i drew for statement one... to influence statement 2.. then i remembered to tackle them separately... and then I got it!
