A certain straight corridor has four doors, A, B, C and D (in that order) leading off from the same side. How far apart are doors B and C?

The distance between doors B and D is 10 meters.
The distance between A and C is 12 meters.

The distance between doors B and D is 10 meters.
The distance between A and C is 12 meters.
(1) is definitely NOT SUFFICIENT.
(2) is again NOT SUFFICIENT.

Combining (1) and (2), BD = 10 m and AC = 12 m, but this also doesn't help us to find the distance between doors B and C.

The correct answer is [spoiler](E)[/spoiler].
