Each of the questions below consists of a question andtwo statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are suf icient to answer the question. Read both the statements and -
Give answer a: if the data in Statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question.
Give answer b: if the data in Statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.
Give answer c: if the data either in Statement I alone or in Statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
Give answer d: if the data even in both Statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
Give answer e: if the data in both Statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
Seven persons - P, Q, R, S, T, U and V are standing in a straight line facing towards north. Find the position of S from the right end.
I. P is standing on any of the extreme ends of the line. There are two persons between P and R. There are two persons between R and Q. U is not standing to the immediate left of R.
II. R is standing exactly at the centre. T is standing exactly between R and V. There is only one person between T and U. S is standing to the immediate right of U.
I : P is standing on any of the extreme ends of the line. There are two persons between P and R, => R is standing at the centre.
There are two persons between R and Q, => Q is standing at the other extreme end.
U is not standing to the immediate left of R.
Arrangement : P/Q _ _ R _ _ Q/P
Thus, it is not sufficient.
II : R is standing exactly at the centre. T is standing exactly between R and V, => let T stand to the immediate left of R and V stands 2nd from left end.
There is only one person between T and U, => U stands to the immediate right of R.
S is standing to the immediate right of U, => S is standing 2nd from right end.
Arrangement : _ V T R U S _
Thus, S is standing 2nd from right end.
$$\therefore$$ Statement II alone is sufficient.
