The question given below consists of three statements numbered I, II and III given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. Read all the statements and give answer. Seven persons L, M, N, O, P, Q and R sit in a straight row facing north direction. How many persons sit to the left of P? Statement I: Two persons sit between Q and N. One person sits between N and P. M sits third to the left of P. Statement II: Two persons sit to the right of
L. Q sits third to the left of N, who sits adjacent to
L. Statement III: More than two persons sit between P and R. O sits to the right of
L.

From statement I alone, as two persons sit between Q and N. One person sits between N and P. M sits 3rd to the left of P, so Q  ______  M     N   _____ P M _____  Q   P  _____ N M   N  _____ P   Q From statement II alone, as two persons sit to the right of L. Q sits third to the left of N, who sits adjacent to L, so ______   ______  Q ______ L    N   ______ Q _____  _____  N   L  ____  _____ From statement III alone, as more than two persons sit between P and R. O sits to the right of L, no possible arrangement is possible. On combining statement I and statement II, we get Q         R/O     M         N         L          P         O/R M         R/O     Q         P         L          N         O/R On combining statement I, II and III, we get Q         R         M         N         L          P         O
