Sitting Arrangement

Question:

Read the directions carefully and give the answer from the given options.

P, Q, R, S, T, K, L, M and N are sitting around a circle facing the centre.

K is $4^{\text {th }}$ to the right of P and P is $3^{\text {rd }}$ to the right of Q.
N is $4^{\text {th }}$ to the left of Q and $3^{\text {rd }}$ to the right of S.
R is $2^{\text {nd }}$ to the right of M and M is the immediate neighbour of P.
T is $2^{\text {nd }}$ to the left of L.

Who is to the immediate left of K?

Options:

R

T

Q

M

Correct Answer:

R

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → R

Assume Q is at position 1 (since everyone is facing the center)

 

  • P is 3rd to the right of Q → P is at position 4

  • K is 4th to the right of P → K is at position 8

  • N is 4th to the left of Q → N is at position 6

  • N is also 3rd to the right of S → S is at position 3

  • M is a neighbor of P → M is at position 5

  • R is 2nd to the right of M → R is at position 7

  • T is 2nd to the left of L → L is at position 2 → T is at position 9

  • Immediate left of K (8) = R (7)
