    Question

    Each of the questions given below has one question and two statements marked I and II.   You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. Read both the statements and give answer.

    Who sits second the left of A? I. Eight

    friends are sitting around a circular table four facing towards the center and four facing away from the center such that no two people facing in the same direction are sitting adjacent to each other. A sits second to the left of G who sits fourth to the right of B. F and H are the immediate neighbours of A and face outside. II. Eight friends are sitting around a circular table such that friends sitting alternately are facing in the same direction (away from the center or towards the center). A, B, G and E face towards the center and C, D, F, H face away from the center. 
    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. Correct Answer Incorrect 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. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C If the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D If the data even in both the statement I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E If the data in both statement I and II together are needed to answer the question Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From 1, we know that, people sitting adjacent to each other face in opposite directions. Thus, if neighbours of A face outside, A faces inside. Also, A sits second to the left of G thus G also faces inside and by placing B such that G sits fourth to the right of B, we get the following arrangement. From II, we know that A, B, G and E face towards the center and C, D, F, H face away from the center, but do not know their placements and position.
