C Either data in statement I or statement II is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D Data in statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

From statement I alone, S sits second from one of the ends. Two persons sit between S and T. One person sits between V and U. V sits second to the left of T U         S         V         _____T          __________ Hence the statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question. From statement II alone, R sits immediate left of W. X sits second to the right of S. U sits immediate left of S. X sits to the right of V. We cannot fix the position. Hence the statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
