a: The data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
b: 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.
c: The data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
d: The data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
e: The data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question while the data in statement I are not sufficient to answer the question.

Question 187

Amongst six people-P, Q R, S, T and U standing around a circle, some facing the centre while some facing outside (i.e. oppositeto the centre) but not necessarily in the same order, what is the position of T with respect to U ?
I. P stands second to the right of R. R faces the centre. Q stands second to the left of P. Q is an immediate neighbour of both U and T. U and P face opposite directions (i.e. if U faces the centre then P faces outside and vice-versa.) Only two people stand between P and T.
II. Only two people stand between R and U. P stands to the immediate left of U. P faces outside. R is an immediate neighbour of T.

Solution

I : P stands second to the right of R. R faces the centre. Q stands second to the left of P. 

=> P faces outside and Q sits second to the left of R.

Q is an immediate neighbour of both U and T, => S sits between R and P. 

U and P face opposite directions, => U faces the centre. 

Only two people stand between P and T, => T sits opposite P.

Thus, T sits second to the right of U.

Clearly, there is no enough data in the second statement to find the position of T with respect to U.

$$\therefore$$ I alone is sufficient.

=> Ans - (B)
