Statement I: A sits second from one end. One person sits between A and B. C sits immediately left of D.


F sits to the right of C. 
Hence, Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
Statement II: B sits third from one of the ends. F who does not sit at the corner is one of the positions right to B.  

  
One person sits between D and F. So, case II will be cancelled.
 
Two people sit between D and A.


Hence, Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
If we combine the both statements we get,

 

 

 

So by merging both statement C is third left of F.

Therefore, both statements are necessary to answer the question.
