Direction: Each of the questions below 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 question. Read both the statements and answer the question.

  1. Are all the five friends, viz, Leena, Amit, Arun, Ali and Ken, who are seated around a circular table, facing the centre?
    I. Leena sits second to the left of Amit. Amit face the centre. Arun sits second to the right of Leena.
    II. Ali sits on the immediate left of Ali but Ken is not an immediate neighbour of Amit.
    1. if the data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question.
    2. if the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.

    3. if the data either in statements I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question; and
    4. if the data given in both the statement I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question; and
    5. if the data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
Correct Option: C

From I: If all of them face the centre, it means if A sits second to the left of B, then B should sit second to the right of A. But here Amit and Arun are different persons. Hence all of them do not face the centre
From II: Again suppose of them face the centre like KEN. Ali sits third to the left of ken. Now, if Amit sits on the left of Ali obviously ken should be his neighbour. But the statement says otherwise. Hence our assumption is disproved. All of them do not face the centre.
