    A Data given in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Data given in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Data given in either statement I or statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Data given in both statement I and statement II are sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Data given in both statement I and statement II are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From statement I alone, as Two persons sit between U and R, who sit second from one of the extreme ends. S sits second to the left of P. V sits second to the right of T. W doesn’t sit adjacent to A, so Q/W    W/Q    S         U         P         T          R         V                     One person sits between W and S or U. om statement II alone, V sits third to the right of P such that more than three persons sit to the left of P. Q sits second to the left of U. W sits at one of the extreme ends. T sits to the left of R, so W        Q         S         U         P         T          R         V Clearly, one person sits between W and S. Data given in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
