Ordering and Ranking

Correct Answer: Option D (Statements I and II together are not sufficient.). From I, B is at the extreme right. From II, A is second to the left of C, and C is adjacent to B. Sequence: A _ C B. Since there are 5 people, the person to the left of A must be at the extreme left. We don't have their name. The data is NOT sufficient.

Q: Are P and Q standing at the extreme ends of the row? I. P is 1st from the left end. II. Q is 1st from the right end.

Correct Answer: Option C (Both statements together are sufficient, but neither statement alone is sufficient.). From I, X is at one extreme end. From II, Y is at the other extreme end and there are exactly 10 people strictly between them. Total = 1 (X) + 10 + 1 (Y) = 12. Both are required.

Q: Is K standing at an extreme end? I. K is standing adjacent to exactly one person in the row. II. L is standing exactly in the middle of the row.

Correct Answer: Option A (Statement I alone is sufficient, but Statement II alone is not.). From Statement I, K is standing adjacent to only one person. In a linear row, only the people at the extreme ends have exactly one neighbor. Statement I alone is sufficient. Statement II is unnecessary.

Q: Who is adjacent to the person standing at the extreme right end? I. Z is sitting at the extreme right end. II. Y is sitting to the immediate left of Z.

Correct Answer: Option C (Both statements together are sufficient, but neither statement alone is sufficient.). From I, Z is at the extreme right. From II, Y is sitting immediate left of Z. Therefore, Y is adjacent to the extreme right person. Both are required.
