Each of the questions below consists of a question and two
statements numbered 1 and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. Read both the statements and—
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.
b: if the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question. while the dam in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.
c: if the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
d: if the data given in both the statements 1 and 11 together are not sufficient to answer the question, and
e: if the data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
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.
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.
