Directions: Each of the following 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 questions.
Seven letters − A, E, F, G, I, L and R are placed in a straight row from left to right such that no meaningful English word is formed. Find the position of L with respect to F?
Statement I:& A is third to the left of G, who is placed exactly in the middle of the word. L is adjacent to A. I is second to the right of F but not adjacent to G.
Statement II:& R is to the immediate left of I. F is second to the right of A, which is placed at an extreme left end. L is not placed after G, which is placed exactly in the middle of the row.
Statement I:& A is third to the left of G, who is placed exactly in the middle of the word. L is adjacent to A. I is second to the right of F but not adjacent to G.
Statement II:& R is to the immediate left of I. F is second to the right of A, which is placed at an extreme left end. L is not placed after G, which is placed exactly in the middle of the row.
Options
- AIf 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.
- BIf 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.
- CIf the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
- DIf the data in both statement I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
Correct answer
C.
If the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
Step-by-step solution
Seven letters − A, E, F, G, I, L and R are placed in a stright row from left to right such that no meaningful english word is formed. Find the position of L with respect to F?
Statement I:& A is third to the left of G, who is placed exactly in the middle of the word. L is adjacent to A. I is second to the right of F but not adjacent to G.
Statement II:& R is to the immediate left of I. F is second to the right of A, which is placed at an extreme left end. L is not placed after G, which is placed exactly in the middle of the row.
Checking statement I:
As per the given hints, following positions can be drawn.
& A L _ G F _ I
Clearly, L is third to the left of F.
Hence data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.
Checking statement II:
Following position can be drawn with the hints given in statement II.
Statement I:& A is third to the left of G, who is placed exactly in the middle of the word. L is adjacent to A. I is second to the right of F but not adjacent to G.
Statement II:& R is to the immediate left of I. F is second to the right of A, which is placed at an extreme left end. L is not placed after G, which is placed exactly in the middle of the row.
Checking statement I:
As per the given hints, following positions can be drawn.
& A L _ G F _ I
Clearly, L is third to the left of F.
Hence data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.
Checking statement II:
Following position can be drawn with the hints given in statement II.
& A L F G& _ _ _
Clearly, L is on the immediate left of F.
Hence data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
Hence data in either statement I alone or statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
Clearly, L is on the immediate left of F.
Hence data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
Hence data in either statement I alone or statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
Hence option C is correct.
