F1 Taniya.D 30-05-2020 Savita D 15

F1 Taniya.D 30-05-2020 Savita D 16

F1 Taniya.D 30-05-2020 Savita D 17

F1 Taniya.D 30-05-2020 Savita D 18

There are many more cases from statement I. so this statement I alone is not sufficient.

Statement II: Priyam is sitting second to the left of Ashish. Samar and Girish are sitting together.

F1 Taniya.D 30-05-2020 Savita D 19

F1 Taniya.D 30-05-2020 Savita D 20

F1 Taniya.D 30-05-2020 Savita D 21

F1 Taniya.D 30-05-2020 Savita D 22

From the statement, II answers cannot be determined.

By combining both statements,

F1 Taniya.D 30-05-2020 Savita D 23

Both statements are not sufficient to answer the question. Hence neither statement I nor statement II is sufficient.

Hence, the correct answer is if the data in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
