Question

    Eight person namely – E, F, G, H, I, J, K and L are

    sitting in a circular table facing centre not necessary in same order. Who sits immediate left of J? I. I sits third to the left of E. K, who neither sits adjacent to E nor I, sits second to the left of F. Only one person sits between G and H. E and L sits together. II. Only one person sits between F and J. G, who neither sits adjacent to J nor H, sits facing L. H sits third to the left of F. I sits second to the left of L. Each of the questions below consists of a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question:
    A If the data in Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B If the data in Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C If the data either in Statement I alone or in Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D If the data in both the Statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E If the data in both the Statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From I: I sits third to left of E.  K, who neither sits adjacent to E nor I, sits second to the left of F, that means F sits second to the right of I. Only one person sits between G and H.  E and L sits together, that means L sits to the immediate left of E. Based on above given information we have: Clearly, only two people sit between J and G. Hence, statement I is alone sufficient. From II:H sits third to left of F. Only one person sits between F and J.  G, who neither sits adjacent to J nor H, sits facing L.  I sits second to left of L, that means I sits immediate right of F. Based on above given information we have: Clearly, only two people sits between J and G. Hence, statement II is alone sufficient.
