Six persons L, M, N, O, P and Q sit in a linear row and face towards the north direction but not necessarily in the same order. Who sits immediate left of N? Statement I: L sits second to the right of P. One person sits between L and M. Q sits at one of the extreme ends. Q does not sit adjacent to M. N sits to the left of O. Statement II: Q sits immediate left of P. Two persons sit between P and O. M sits adjacent to O. M sits at one of the extreme ends. L sits to the right of N.

    B Data in either statement I alone or statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Data in both statements I and II together is necessary to answer the question Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Data in both statements I and II together is not necessary to answer the question Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From statement I, L sits second to the right of P. One person sits between L and M. Q sits at one of the extreme ends. Q does not sit adjacent to M. N sits to the left of O.

    The following arrangement can be drawn from the given statements,

    Q P N L O M

    P sits immediate left of N.

    From statement II, Q sits immediate left of P. Two persons sit between P and O. M sits adjacent to O. M sits at one of the extreme ends. L sits to the right of N.

    Case 1:

    Q P N L O M

    Case 2:

    M O N Q P L

    Either P or O sits immediate left of N.

    Data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.
