Data Sufficiency: Work Order

>(1) Town A is 30 kilometers due north of Town B.
> (2) Town C is 40 kilometers due east of Town B.
Correct.

Statement 1 provides data concerning towns A and B only, therefore **Stat.(1) → IS → BCE**
Statement 2 provides data concerning town B and C only, therefore by itself **Stat.(2) → IS → CE**
By combining the two statements, you know the relative positions of Towns A and C compared to Town B. That means that you know the relative positions of Towns A and C to each other: Town C is 30 km south and 40 km east of Town A. That is enough information to find the distance from Town A to Town C. **Stat.(1+2) → S → C**

Combining the information in both statements is sufficient data to answer the question.
Statement 1 ALONE is sufficient, but statement 2 alone is not sufficient to answer the question asked.
Statement 2 ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient to answer the question asked.
BOTH statements 1 and 2 TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question asked, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked.
EACH statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked.
Statements 1 and 2 TOGETHER are NOT sufficient to answer the question asked, and additional data specific to the problem are needed.
