Eight friends A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting around a circular table facing the center. Who is opposite to A? I. D sits second to right of F and opposite to E. A is an immediate neighbor of B and C. II. G sits third to right of E, who sits second to right of A.
if the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient in answer the question.
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.
if the data in either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
if the data in both the statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
if the data in both the statements I and II are together necessary to answer the question.
Solution:
Q7. Who among D, E, F, G, H and J got the highest marks in an exam? I. D’s marks was more than G and J and E’s marks was less than that of F. II. E scored less than G. J scored more than G and H. No one scored marks between F and G or F and H.
if the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient in answer the question.
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.
if the data in either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
if the data in both the statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.

Solution:
From statements I- D>G,J ; F>E
From statement II- either J>H>F>G>E or J>G>F>H>E
From statement I and II both- D>J>H>F>G>E or D>J>G>F>H>E
Hence D got maximum marks.
