Q: How many people are sitting between A and B in a row of 30 people? I. A is 10th from the left end. II. B is 15th from the right end.

Correct Answer: Option C (Both statements together are sufficient, but neither statement alone is sufficient.). From I, A is 10th from left. From II, B is 15th from right. B's position from left = 30 - 15 + 1 = 16th. Number of people between 10th and 16th = (16 - 10) - 1 = 5. Both are required.

Correct Answer: Option C (Both statements together are sufficient, but neither statement alone is sufficient.). From I, P is at extreme left. P _ _ _ _. From II, R is second to the left of S and Q is adjacent to P. Q must be 2nd from left. P Q _ _ _. For R to be 2nd left of S, R must be 3rd and S must be 5th. P Q R T S. R is in the middle.

Q: Is Z sitting exactly between X and Y? I. X is 5th from the left and Y is 15th from the left. II. Z is 10th from the left end.

Correct Answer: Option C (Both statements together are sufficient, but neither statement alone is sufficient.). From I, X is 5th from left and Y is 15th from left. From II, Z is 10th from left. The exact middle of 5 and 15 is (5+15)/2 = 10. Since Z is 10th, Z is exactly between them. Both are required.

From II, N is 18th from left and the total number of people is 40. The middle person is at (8+18)/2 = 13th from left. Position from right = 40 - 13 + 1 = 28th. Both are required.
