Correct Answer: Data in statements I and II together is sufficient to answer the question


Solution : Given:
(I) A is fourth from the left end; M is second to the right of A; and R is second from the left end.


(II) M is fourth from the right end only two people stand between M and B.
From the above, two possibilities of arrangements can be made –


On combining the above two statements, the following arrangement can be made –

The position of B is unclear, as B can be in two places on the left or right side of M. Whereas it is clear that there are a total of 9 people standing in the row.

Thus, data in statements I and II together is sufficient to answer the question. Hence, the second option is correct.
