Five friends sit in a row (positions 1 to 5 from the left). Who sits at the centre? Statement I: A sits at an extreme end and B sits second to the right of A. Statement II: C sits between D and E.

Question

Accepted Answer

Statement I alone is sufficient but Statement II alone is not. By I, for 'second to the right of A' to exist A must be at the left end (position 1), so B is at position 3, the centre. II does not fix the centre, so I alone suffices.
