Six persons sit around a circular table facing the centre. Who sits immediate left of P?

Statement I: L sits two places away from B. One person sits between B and Q. K sits immediate right of Q but does not sit near B.

Statement II: P sits 2nd to the right of C. B sits 3rd to the left of C but does not sit near K.

Question

Six persons sit around a circular table facing the centre. Who sits immediate left of P?

Statement I: L sits two places away from B. One person sits between B and Q. K sits immediate right of Q but does not sit near B.

Statement II: P sits 2nd to the right of C. B sits 3rd to the left of C but does not sit near K.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

We need to find who sits immediate left of P among six persons sitting around a circular table facing the centre.

**Step 1: Analyze Statement I alone:**
- L sits two places away from B.
- One person sits between B and Q.
- K sits immediate right of Q but does not sit near B.

From this, we get some relative positions among L, B, Q, and K, but nothing about P or C. We cannot determine who is immediate left of P with this information alone.

**Step 2: Analyze Statement II alone:**
- P sits 2nd to the right of C.
- B sits 3rd to the left of C but does not sit near K.

This gives relative positions of P, C, and B, but no information about others like L, Q, or K's exact position relative to P. So, we cannot find who is immediate left of P with this alone.

**Step 3: Combine Statements I and II:**
- From Statement II, we place C and find P and B relative to C.
- From Statement I, we place L, B, Q, and K relative to each other.

By combining both, we can arrange all six persons around the table:

- Place C arbitrarily.
- P is 2nd to the right of C.
- B is 3rd to the left of C.
- L is two places away from B.
- One person sits between B and Q.
- K sits immediate right of Q but not near B.

Arranging all these constraints, we can find the exact seating order and identify who sits immediate left of P.

**Answer:** Data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.

Hence, option (e) is correct.
