Statement I: P sits immediate right of Q. One person sits between M and T. R sits to the left of S, who is adjacent to M.

Therefore, we cannot determine the person sitting third to the left of O.

Statement II: N sits second to the left of M, who sits immediate left of O. P sits to the right of T.

In this Statement, M is immediate left of O and N is second to the left of M.

Therefore, N sits third to the left of O.

Hence, Data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.
