The answer is E, because in card game if there are 4 players those 4 is divided into two teams. Team 1 has two players, in the same way, team 2 having two players. The players in each team will sit opposite to each other. In statement 1 says D is opposite to A which means obviously B is opposite to C, 2nd statement speaks the same.

The answer should be B.

Because from the statement 2 alone we can get the answer, so what is the need of 1st statement when we can get it from the only 2nd.

@Aniket,

Why don't you understand logic before posting, how is the partner of C not defined and in which statement after the assumption?

Partners sit diagonal each other, with the playing surface in the middle, so that opponents have a chance to see the signals.

Person sitting in opposite is partner! This statement is assumption. We don't assume in data sufficiency.

So answer is D.

Amol said:   8 years ago
Statement 1 and 2 does not give any clarity on partners as same is not mentioned in both statements.

Answer should be D.

Pratiksha said:   10 years ago
According to me, answer is D because in I statement their is no any relation between C and B and same in II statement.

Sdfasdf said:   8 years ago
Answer should be D with the help of above statements one cannot make clear that who is partner of whom?

Partner for this game is not defined. Assumption in the answer is sitting across defines the partner.
