Five children stand in a row of five positions. Who is exactly in the middle? Statement I: Exactly two children stand to the left of M, and M is not at either end. Statement II: N stands at the extreme right end. Which statement(s) is/are sufficient to answer?

Question

Accepted Answer

Statement I alone is sufficient but Statement II alone is not. Two children to the left of M in a row of five puts M at position 3, the middle. Statement II only fixes N at the right end and does not identify the middle person.
