Download Solution PDFStatement I:
In a row, there are twice the number of people between Ira and Heer than the number of people between Lina and Riya.
This condition is possible for many positions of Lina, Ira and Heer.
Therefore, statement I alone is not sufficient.
Statement II:
Riya is 5th from the right end.
Statement gives the idea of position of Riya only.
It does not tell anything about Ira and Lina.
So, statement II alone is not sufficient.
Statement III:
Ira and Lina are not neighbours.
Statement does not give any specific position of Ira and Lina.
So, statement III alone is not sufficient.
On combining statements I and II:
It does not given any specific information about the position of Ira and Lina in the row. It does not give any clue about the number of children in the row as well.
On combining statements II and III:
It does not given any specific information about the position of Ira and Lina in the row. It does not give any clue about the number of children in the row as well.
On combining statements I and III:
It does not given any specific information about the position of Ira and Lina in the row. It does not give any clue about the number of children in the row as well.
From statements I, II and III,
I. In a row, there are twice the number of people between Ira and Heer than the number of people between Lina and Riya.
II. Riya is 5th from the right end.
III. Ira and Lina are not neighbours.
Only the position of Riya is clearly mentioned in all the three statements. There are many possibilities for other two statements which do not lead us to any specific conclusion.
Hence the data even in all the statements I, II and III together are not sufficient to answer the question.
