• A. Statement (1) alone is sufficient to answer the question
• B. Statement (2) alone is sufficient to answer the question
• C. Both the statements together are needed to answer the question
• D. Either statement (1) alone or statement (2) alone is sufficient to answer the question
• E. Neither statement (1) nor statement (2) suffices to answer the question.

Answer 1

Answer: (E)

1. The question aims to identify the relationship between Suja and Adi among a group of seven family members.
2. Let's summarize the given information:
   • Ritu has a son and a daughter.
   • Males are Krish and Deep; females are Suja and Lakshya.
   • Statement 1:
     • Ritu has a grandson and a granddaughter.
     • Anu is Krish's niece.
   • Statement 2:
     • Suja is Lakshya's sister-in-law.
     • Deep has two children: Adi and Anu.
3. Let's examine each statement to deduce the relationship between Suja and Adi.
4. Analyzing Statement 1:
   • Since Ritu has a son (potentially Deep or Krish) and a daughter, and a grandson and a granddaughter, this only hints at there being a multigenerational family but does not clarify the relationship of Suja and Adi.
   • Anu being Krish's niece means Krish is the brother of Anu's parent, but the specific parent is not identified (it could be either of Adi's parents).
   • This does not provide a clear connection to Suja.
5. Analyzing Statement 2:
   • Deep having two children, Adi and Anu, informs us about their parental relationship with Deep but provides no direct relationship with Suja.
   • Suja being Lakshya's sister-in-law suggests that Suja is married to either Lakshya's brother or a male cousin.
   • This setup does not directly connect any known relationships to Adi.
6. Conclusion:
   • Neither statement alone sufficiently establishes the direct relationship between Suja and Adi.
   • Combining both statements still does not resolve whether Suja is directly related to Adi.
   • Thus, the correct answer is: "Neither statement (1) nor statement (2) suffices to answer the question."
