Shreya Banerjee  (9 years ago)

The correct option is C) I and III combined.

statement II is useless..

There can be two arrangements if we consider Statement I and III as follows:
A D E B C

C B E D C

I both cases we see that E is in the middle, so we can ignore statement II.

So, Option C Is Correct!!
