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.

F3 Madhuri Banking 30.11.2022 D29
Hence, Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
If we combine the both statements we get,

F3 Madhuri Banking 30.11.2022 D30

 

 

 

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

Therefore, both statements are necessary to answer the question.
