Given the total number of students is 40, we can determine Seema's rank using either statement:
Priya is 31st from the bottom, so her rank from the top is 40 - 31 + 1 = 10.
Since Priya is 4 ranks below Seema, Seema's rank from the top is 10 − 4 = 6.
Ena is 37th from the bottom, so her rank from the top is 40 − 37 + 1 = 4.
Ena is 2 ranks above Seema, so Seema's rank from the top is 4 + 2 = 6.
In both cases, Seema's rank from the top is 6. Hence, each statement alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Understanding the Statements
To determine Seema's rank from the top in a class of 40 students, let's analyze the provided statements:
Statement-1 Analysis:
- Priya is 4 ranks below Seema.
- Priya's rank from the bottom is 31st.
- Therefore, Priya's rank from the top is:
40 (total students) - 31 (from bottom) + 1 = 10th.
- Since Priya is 4 ranks below Seema, Seema's rank from the top is:
10 (Priya's rank) + 4 = 14th.
Thus, Statement-1 alone is sufficient to conclude Seema's rank.
Statement-2 Analysis:
- Ena is 2 ranks above Seema.
- Ena's rank from the bottom is 37th.
- Therefore, Ena's rank from the top is:
40 (total students) - 37 (from bottom) + 1 = 4th.
- Since Ena is 2 ranks above Seema, Seema's rank from the top is:
4 (Ena's rank) + 2 = 6th.
Thus, Statement-2 alone is also sufficient to conclude Seema's rank.
Conclusion:
- Since each statement independently provides enough information to determine Seema's rank from the top, the correct answer is option 'C': Either Statement-1 alone or Statement-2 alone is sufficient to answer the Question.
