Statement I: Gopi is sitting immediately left of Ashish. Only two persons are sitting between Suhas and Babita. Priyam sits one of the places to the left of Suhas. Four possibilities could occur.

There are many more cases from statement I. so this statement I alone is not sufficient.

Statement II: Priyam is sitting second to the left of Ashish. Samar and Girish are sitting together.

From the statement, II answers cannot be determined.

By combining both statements,

Both statements are not sufficient to answer the question. Hence neither statement I nor statement II is sufficient.

Hence, the correct answer is if the data in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
