I. P is the grandson of X’s father.
II. X has no sisters but has several friends and each of his friends is the only son in his respective family.

If the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question
If the data in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question
If the data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question
Solution:
From I: We get P is either nephew or son of Mr. X so we can’t say the exactly relation between P and X.
From II: The information does not give the clue to reach answer.
So both I and II is not sufficient to answer the question.
