Six cars, P, Q, R, S, T and W, are parked around a circular path, facing the centre (not necessarily in this order). R is third to the right of W. S is to the immediate left of P. Q is second to the left of W. P is second to the left of Q.
Which car is parked second to the right of R?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → T
Facing the centre, moving to the left means moving clockwise and moving to the right means moving anticlockwise. Number the six places 0 to 5 clockwise, starting with W.
W is at place 0
Q is second to the left of W: two places clockwise, place 2
P is second to the left of Q: two more places clockwise, place 4
S is to the immediate left of P: one place clockwise, place 5
R is third to the right of W: three places anticlockwise from 0, which is place 3 (opposite W)
T takes the last free place, place 1
Second to the right of R: two places anticlockwise from place 3, which is place 1, so the car is T
