• A. If the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question.
• B. If the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are riot sufficient to answer the question.
• C. If the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
• D. If the data in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
• E. If the data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

If the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are riot sufficient to answer the question.

It can be seen that Statement 1 is insufficient to answer our problem statement.
Though statement 2 seems insufficient, it does answer our question.
Since they are in a circle, the person who is third to the left of P will also be second to the right of P.
