We have to find the position of P.
Statement I
T and V are immediate neighbours of P.
T P V or V P T
Only Q stands between V and U.
V Q U or U Q V
Only R stands between S and T.
S R T or T R S
In Statement II
U and S are at the extreme end of the row.
U………S or S……..U
Only three people stand between U and T.
U…, …, … T
R stands exactly between S and T.
S R T
Q stands to the immediate left of U.
Q U
From Statements I
P is at the middle of the row.
Hence, data in Statements I alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Understanding the Question
The question asks for the position of P in a row based on the information provided in two statements.
Analysis of Statement I
- T and V are immediate neighbours of P.
- Only Q stands between V and U.
- Only R stands between S and T.
From these clues, we can infer that P is surrounded by T and V, but we lack information about the overall arrangement of the row. Therefore, Statement I alone does not provide enough information to determine P's exact position.
Analysis of Statement II
- U and S stand at the extreme ends of the row.
- Only three people stand between U and T.
- R stands exactly between S and T.
- Q stands to the immediate left of U.
This statement gives a clearer picture of the arrangement. Given that U and S are at the ends, we can deduce that T must be positioned between U and S, with R and possibly others in between. However, it still does not lead to a definitive position for P since P's placement relies on T and V's relationship with U and S.
Conclusion
- Statement I is insufficient alone because it does not provide a definitive layout.
- Statement II gives more structure but does not help locate P specifically.
Thus, the correct answer is option B: The data in Statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question while the data in Statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question.
