Five people P, Q, R, S and T sit in a straight row. Who sits exactly in the middle (the third position)? Statement I: Two people sit to the left of R and two people sit to the right of R. Statement II: P sits at one of the two ends of the row. Which statement is sufficient to answer?

Question

Accepted Answer

Statement I alone is sufficient but Statement II alone is not. In a five-seat row, two people on each side of R force R into the third (middle) seat. II only fixes P at an end and does not identify the middle person.
