Explanation:

Let’s break it down:

- Statement I: R takes 5 hours, P takes 3 hours. There’s no info tying these times together—like distance, speed, or a common reference—so this *could* be true, but with no contradiction, we can’t rule it out.

- Statement II: Same deal—R takes 3 hours, P takes 5 hours. Unless we know their speeds/distances, this could also fit whatever (or nothing) the rest of the question says.

- Statement III: This one’s trickier, because it mentions the speed of P is 1/5th of Q, the distance increased by 90km, and R reached the new distance at 3:30 p.m. There’s not enough context, but unless something else contradicts the plausible timing, this also *could* be true.

- Option 1: Only I—possible.

- Option 2: Only II—possible.

- Option 3: Only III—possible.

- Option 4: Only I and II—also possible.

- Option 5: None of these—wait, that means NONE are possible, which doesn’t track. With so many unknowns, any of those individual statements could be true.

Correct answer:

Option 4: Only I and II

At least one of statements I or II can be true independently (nothing rules them out or makes both impossible).
