Five friends Praveen, Qasim, Ramesh, Sambhav and Tridip are sitting in a row facing North. Praveen is to the right of Qasim, and Tridip is to the left of Ramesh and to the right of Praveen. Qasim is to the right of Sambhav. Who is in the centre?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Praveen
All five face North, so their right is our right. Join the clues into one chain from left to right:
Qasim is to the right of Sambhav: Sambhav, Qasim
Praveen is to the right of Qasim: Sambhav, Qasim, Praveen
Tridip is to the right of Praveen and to the left of Ramesh: Sambhav, Qasim, Praveen, Tridip, Ramesh
The chain uses all five friends, so the order is fixed, and the third of five, Praveen, is in the centre.
