Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Arrange the girls around the circle facing the centre. One valid clockwise order is L, M, R, N, Q, S, P. This satisfies all conditions: M is second to the right of N, N is third to the right of P, R is third to the right of S, L is third to the left of Q, and S is not an immediate neighbour of M. In this arrangement, Q is immediately to the left of N, so statement I is true. P is third to the left of N, so statement II is also true. Therefore, both statements I and II are correct.
