Clearly, we don’t know exact position of the one whose hobby is Cricket.

Hence, statement I is not sufficient alone.  

 

From statement II,

I. A sits third to left B, who like Boxing.

II. B sits third to left of D, who sits second to right of the one who likes Singing.

III. E likes Singing and sits third to left of the one who likes Cricket.

V. The one who likes Football sit third to left of A.

VI. F sits second to left of C, who sits second to left of the one who likes Boxing.

Clearly, we don’t know hobby of the C, who sits second to right of the one who likes Cricket.

Hence, statement II is not sufficient alone.

 

From I and II:

After combining both statements we have:

Clearly, C (Badminton) sits second to right of F (Cricket).

Thus, statement I and II together are sufficient.

Hence, option V is the correct answer.
