    Solution

    We have: One who likes Banana sits third from right end. Only three person sits between C and one who likes Banana, that means C sits at extreme left end.  E, who doesn’t sit neighbor of one who likes Banana, sits second to left of one who likes Papaya. E likes Litchi, that means E sits second from left end. Only two person sits between D and one who likes Papaya, that D sits at extreme right end. Based on above given information we have: Clearly, we don’t know exact position one who likes Grapes. Hence, statement I is not sufficient. From II: We have:  Only two person sits between D and G, who sits with one who likes Mango, that means G likes Papaya. Only one person sits between one who likes Mango and one who likes Guava, that means C likes Guava. Based on above given information we have: Clearly, we don’t know exact position one who likes Grapes. Hence, statement II is not sufficient. From I and II: After combining statement I and II we have: Clearly, one person sits immediate right of one who likes Grapes. Hence, statement I and II together sufficient.
