    A question is given, followed by two statements

    numbered (I) and (II). You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements is sufficient to answer the question. Read both the statements and select the appropriate answer. Five persons G, H, I, J and E sit in a linear row and face towards the north direction but not necessarily in the same order. Who sits second to the right of J? Statement I: G sits second from one of the extreme ends. E sits immediate left of G. I sits second to the right of E. Statement II: J sits immediate left of H. E sits second to the left of I. G sits to the right of H.
    A Data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Data in either statement I alone or statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Data in statements I and II together is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From statement I alone, G sits second from one of the extreme ends. E sits immediate left of G. I sits second to the right of E. Case 1: When G sits second from the left end. E         G         I           H/J      J/H Case 2: When G sits second from the right end. H/J      J/H      E         G         I Data given in statement I is not sufficient to answer the given question. From statement II alone, J sits immediate left of H. E sits second to the left of I. G sits to the right of H. E sits second to the right of J. J          H         E         G         I           Data given in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the given question.
