Question 174

Five persons - A, B, C, D and E- are sitting in a circle facing the centre. Who is sitting to the immediate left of D?
I. C is sitting second to the left of A. B and D are immediate neighbours of each other.
II. D is sitting to the immedi ate left of B. E is not an immediate neighbour of D and B.

Solution

I : C is sitting second to the left of A. B and D are immediate neighbours of each other.

The arrangement will be :

Since, we can't find the specific position of D, we cannot find who's sitting left of him.

Thus, I alone is insufficient.


II : D is sitting to the immedi ate left of B. E is not an immediate neighbour of D and B

The arrangement will be :

Either A or C is sitting to the immediate left of D.

Thus, II alone is insufficient.


I & II : Combining the above two, we get the arrangement :

Thus, A is sitting to the immediate left of D.

Thus, I & II together are sufficient.
