Given below is a question followed by two statements I and II. Read both statements carefully to decide which one of them is sufficient to answer the question.
Six people - A, B, C, D, E, and F are sitting in a straight line facing north. Who sits to the immediate left of D?
(I) A sits second from one of the extreme ends of the line. Only two people sit between A and B. E sits to the immediate right of C.
(II) C sits third from the left end of the line. Only one person sits between C and F. E sits third to the right of F.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Data in statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
From statement I:
From the above arrangement, we cannot say who is to the immediate left of D. Thus, statement I alone is insufficient.
From statement II:
From the above arrangement, we cannot say who is to the immediate left of D. Thus, statement II alone is insufficient.
Combining Both statements:
From the above arrangement, we can say either A or B sits to the immediate left of D. so, we cannot answer the question. Thus, data in statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
