Step-by-step solution
Six persons from A to F are sitting around a circular table and facing towards the centre such that B is second to the right of A, who is third to the left of D. A is on the immediate right of E.
Who sits second to the right of F?
Statement I:& C is not adjacent to A.
Statement II:& B is second to the left of C.
Checking statement I:
Following arrangement can be prepared.
Who sits second to the right of F?
Statement I:& C is not adjacent to A.
Statement II:& B is second to the left of C.
Checking statement I:
Following arrangement can be prepared.
Thus D is second to the right of F.
Hence data in statement I is sufficient.
Checking statement II:
Following arrangement can be prepared.
Thus D is second to the right of F.
Hence data in statement II is sufficient.
Thus either data in statement I or II is sufficient.
Hence option C is correct.
