    C If the data in statement II and III are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I are not required to answer the question Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D If the data given in either statement I alone or statement II alone or statement III alone are sufficient to answer the question Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E If the data in all the statements I, II and III together are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From I and II: From II, C is third to the left of D and both are facing the centre. From I, E is not an immediate neighbor of D or C. E can either be seated at 6 or 7. F is an immediate neighbor of E but not of A. And B is the neighbour of F. Thus, in case I, F cannot be seated at 5 because then B cannot be a neighbor of F. Thus F sits at 7 when E sits at 6 and B sits at 8. Similarly, when E is at 7, F cannot be at 8. Thus F sits at 6 when E sits at 7 and B sits at 5. But according to II, The only one who is sitting in between D and F, is not facing the centre. Thus, only person sitting between D and F. Thus, case II discarded. G is third to the right of A and is facing the centre. Also, only three people face the center. Thus A is facing outside.
