Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Statement I fixes Rajat's position: Jyoti is 3rd from the left and is 2 places to the left of Rajat, so Rajat is 5th from the left. Rajat is also immediately left of the person who is 10th from the right, so the row length can be fixed. Thus statement I alone is sufficient. Statement II gives Meena's position from one unspecified end and 19 children between Meena and Rajat, so it does not fix Rajat's exact position. Therefore statement I alone is sufficient.
