Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

From statement I:
N `to` 2nd youngest.
N `to` Younger than Q. O and M.
So, .P. is the youngest.
So, statement Iis sufficient
From statement II:
O `to` 2nd oldest.
O `to` Older than N.
So, we have no clue about the exact positions except of O.
So, statement II is not sufficient.
Therefore, the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the given question.
