II. Vijay is 9\textsuperscript{th} from the left and becomes 15\textsuperscript{th} from the left if he interchanges his position with Sheela, who is 5\textsuperscript{th} from the right.

• A. Statement I alone is sufficient
• B. Statement II alone is sufficient
• C. Either statement I alone or statement II alone is sufficient
