The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of determining who is to the immediate left of D based on the given statements, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Analyze Statement I - The first statement tells us that M is between T and W, and D is to the immediate left of T. - Let's visualize this: - If we place M between T and W, we can have two possible arrangements: 1. T - M - W 2. W - M - T - Since D is to the immediate left of T, we can place D accordingly: - If T is at position 1, then D will be at position 4 (immediate left). - If W is at position 1, then D will be at position 2 (immediate left). However, since M is between T and W, the only valid arrangement is: - T - M - W - D must be at position 4 (immediate left of T). ### Step 2: Determine Who is to the Immediate Left of D - In the arrangement T - M - W - D, we see that W is to the immediate left of D. ### Conclusion from Statement I - From Statement I alone, we can conclude that W is to the immediate left of D. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement II - The second statement states that D is second to the left of M. - Let's visualize this: - If we place M at any position, D being second to the left means: - If M is at position 1, D will be at position 3. - If M is at position 2, D will be at position 4. - If M is at position 3, D will be at position 1. - If M is at position 4, D will be at position 2. - In all these arrangements, we cannot definitively determine who is to the immediate left of D since T and W can occupy any of the remaining positions. ### Conclusion from Statement II - From Statement II alone, we cannot determine who is to the immediate left of D. ### Final Conclusion - Based on the analysis: - Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question (W is to the immediate left of D). - Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

To solve the problem of determining who is to the immediate left of D based on the given statements, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Analyze Statement I - The first statement tells us that M is between T and W, and D is to the immediate left of T. - Let's visualize this: - If we place M between T and W, we can have two possible arrangements: 1.
