- In a row of 25 students facing south, what is Kanu’s position from the right end?
I. Sonu is sitting 15th from the left end of row and Kanu is sitting at fifth position to right of Sonu.
II. Shilpi is 4th from the right end of row and there are 8 students between Shilpi and Kanu.
A) If the data in statement I alone are sufficient
B) If the data in statement II alone are sufficient
C) If the data either in statement I alone or statement II alone are sufficient to answer
D) If the data given in both I and II together are not sufficient
E) If the data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answerC) If the data either in statement I alone or statement II alone are sufficient to answer
Explanation:
In I definite position of Sonu is given and then Kanu is fifth to right of Sonu so her position can be find out. In II also same reason. - P, Q, R, S, and T are sitting in a row. Who among them sits in the middle?
I. R is sitting on the immediate right of who is sitting on the immediate right of B.

C) If the data either in statement I alone or statement II alone are sufficient to answer
D) If the data given in both I and II together are not sufficient
E) If the data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answerD) If the data given in both I and II together are not sufficient
Explanation:
From I : No relation
From II : Only R and T can be placed, so in the middle P or Q or S - How is S related to A?
I. A is the only brother of T, whose father is Q.
II. S is the only son of P, who is only sister of T.
A) If the data in statement I alone are sufficient

C) If the data either in statement I alone or statement II alone are sufficient to answer
D) If the data given in both I and II together are not sufficient
E) If the data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answerE) If the data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answer
