Read the following information carefully and answer the question given below:
(i) There are five friends standing in a row facing North.
(ii) Jatin is to the immediate right of Ankit.
(iii) Praveen is between Bhusan and Sachin.
(iv) Sachin is between Jatin and Praveen.
Who is at the extreme left end?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Ankit
All five face North, so their right is the East end of the row and their left the West end. The clues are joined into one row:
Jatin is to the immediate right of Ankit: Ankit, Jatin
Sachin is between Jatin and Praveen, so he comes next to Jatin on the right: Ankit, Jatin, Sachin, Praveen
Praveen is between Bhusan and Sachin, so Bhusan comes after Praveen: Ankit, Jatin, Sachin, Praveen, Bhusan
Nobody stands to the left of Ankit, so Ankit is at the extreme left end.
