Five friends, F, H, J, N and Q, are sitting in a row, all facing North. F is to the right of J and to the left of H. N is to the right of F but to the left of H. Q is to the left of J.
Who is sitting in the middle of the row?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → F
Facing North, a person’s right is the right side of the row. Join the clues into one chain from left to right.
F is to the right of J and to the left of H: J … F … H
N is to the right of F but to the left of H, so N comes between F and H: J … F … N … H
Q is to the left of J: Q, J, F, N, H
The middle (third) seat from either end is F
