Question: In a row of five people P, Q, R, S and T all facing north, who sits exactly in the middle? Statement I: P is at one end with Q next to P, and R is at the other end with S next to R. Statement II: Q sits second from the left. Which statement(s) is/are sufficient to answer the question?

Question

Accepted Answer

Statement I alone is sufficient but Statement II alone is not. I fills the two ends and their neighbours with P, Q, R and S, leaving only T for the middle seat. II fixes only Q and cannot identify the middle.
