Certainly, each statement alone is not sufficient.

Combined together, there are many answers. If the factory, harbor, and warehouse are in straight line and in that order, the answer is 15 + 25 = 40". However, if they are not in straight line, there could be any answer from 25 - 15 = 10" to 40". Insufficient.

The correct answer: E

Hope this helps!
