In the figure, l, m, and k are straight lines. Are the lines l and m parallel?

(1) x = q

(2) y = p

Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.

Correct Answer: E

Explanation:

In the figure below, statements (1) x = q and (2) y = p are satisfied. Still, lines l and m intersect and therefore are not parallel.

Now, consider the figure below, where each of the angles x, y, p, and q equals 90°. Here, the statements are satisfied and lines l and m are parallel.

Since we have a double case, the statements together are not sufficient. Hence, the answer is (E).
