Question:

Six boys Rahul, Ram, Ramesh, Sohan, Sahil, and Anil are sitting in a row facing towards north(not necessarily in the same order). Rahul is fourth to the left of Anil. Ram is second to the right of Sohan. Ramesh is second to the right of Ram. Anil is not sitting on the extreme ends of the row.

Who is sitting second to the right of Rahul?

Options:

Sahil

Anil

Sohan

Ram

Correct Answer:

Sahil

Explanation:

The step - by - step arrangement will be- 

1. Rahul is fourth to the left of Anil.

.⇒ There are 3 people between them

Rahul  ___   ___  ___  Anil

2. Ram is second to the right of Sohan. Ramesh is second to the right of Ram.

⇒ The placement of these three is:

Sohan  ___  Ram  ___  Ramesh

Combining, the two conditions;

Sohan  Rahul  Ram  ____ Ramesh  Anil

    or 

Rahul  Sohan  ___ Ram Anil Ramesh

3. Anil is not sitting on the extreme ends of the row.

⇒ The second arrangement is correct.

The final arrangement becomes

The person sitting second to the right of Rahul is Sahil.
