    Each of the questions below consists of a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question:

    Seven person namely – A, B, C, D, E, F and G are sitting in a row facing north. Each person likes different colour viz. White, Black, Red, Green, Orange, Yellow and Pink.

    A If the data in Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B If the data in Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement I alone is 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 in both the Statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E If the data in both the Statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    We have: One who likes White sits third from right end. Only three person sits between C and one who likes White, that means C sits at extreme left end.  E, who doesn’t sit neighbor of one who likes White, sits second to left of one who likes Red. E likes Pink, that means E sits second from left end.   Only two person sits between D and one who likes Red, that D sits at extreme right end. Based on above given information we have: From Statement I: Clearly, one person sits immediate right of one who likes Yellow. Hence, statement I and II together sufficient.
