There are five houses, V, W, X, Y and Z, in a row. X is to the right of W and to the left of Y. Z is to the right of X. W is to the right of V.
Which house is in the middle?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → X
The middle of five houses is the third, with two houses on each side. Count how many houses must lie to the left and to the right of each candidate.
W is to the right of V, and X is to the right of W: from the left, V, W, X
Y and Z are both to the right of X
So X has exactly two houses on its left (V and W) and two on its right (Y and Z), whatever the order of Y and Z
X is the third house, the one in the middle
