Six people, Tina, Uday, Vivek, Wasim, Yash and Zara, are standing in a single queue at a ticket window, one behind the other. Uday is third from the front, and Zara stands immediately behind Uday. Tina is the last person in the queue. Wasim stands behind Vivek but ahead of Yash.
Who stands immediately ahead of Tina?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Yash
Number the places 1 to 6 from the front of the queue; “ahead of” means nearer the front. Fill the fixed places first.
Uday is third from the front: place 3; Zara is immediately behind him: place 4
Tina is last: place 6
Places 1, 2 and 5 are left for Vivek, Wasim and Yash, in the order Vivek, then Wasim, then Yash (Wasim is behind Vivek and ahead of Yash)
So Vivek is 1st, Wasim 2nd and Yash 5th
Place 5 is immediately ahead of Tina (place 6): Yash
