Among five people A, B, C, D and E seated in a row facing north, who sits at the extreme left? Statement I: B is second from the left and A is immediately to the left of B. Statement II: C sits at the extreme right. Which statement(s) is/are sufficient to answer?

Question

Accepted Answer

Statement I alone is sufficient but Statement II alone is not. From I, B is at position 2 and A is immediately left of B, so A is at position 1 (extreme left). II only fixes the right end, so it cannot identify the leftmost person.
