      Question

      The question given below consists of 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. Read all the statements and answer the question. Six persons M, S, K, R, T and N sit around a circular table at equal distance from one another. Each of them faces towards the centre of the table. Who sits second to the left of S? Statement I: K sits adjacent to T. Only one person sits between K and S (either from left or right) . R sits adjacent to S. Neither N nor K sits adjacent to R. M and N doesn't sit opposite to each other. Statement II: R sits second to the left of T. K sits adjacent to T. Neither M nor S sits adjacent to K. S doesn't sit second to the left of M. R sits neither adjacent to N nor opposite to N.
      A Data given in both statement I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Data given in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while data given in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Data given in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while data given in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Data given in both statement I and II together are necessary to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      From statement I, K sits adjacent to T. Only one person sits between K and S (either from left or right) . R sits adjacent to S. Neither N nor K sits adjacent to R. M and N doesn't sit opposite to each other. We get: Case 1: When S sits immediate right of T. Case 2: When S sits immediate left of T. From statement I alone, we get either M or K sits second to the left of S. From statement II, R sits second to the left of T. K sits adjacent to T. Neither M nor S sits adjacent to K. S doesn't sit second to the left of M. R sits neither adjacent to N nor opposite to N. We get: Case 1: When K sits immediate right of T. Case 2: When K sits immediate left of T. From statement II alone, we get in both the cases, M sits second to the left of S. Therefore, data given in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question while data given in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
