Statement 1: X is on the counter. 

Only the first position is known. The second position is not known.

So, it alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Statement 2: P is between A and K. 

The order can be:

Case I Case II
A K
P P
K A

 

The position of X is not known.

So, statement 2 alone is not sufficient.

Combining statements 1 and 2:

The order can be:

Case I Case II
X X
A K
P P
K A

 

The second position can be A or K.

So, the two statements together are also not sufficient.

Hence, the correct answer is "Statements 1 and 2 together are insufficient".
