Five boys P, Q, R, S and T are sitting around a pentagonal table and their faces are towards each other. P is between Q and R. S is to the left of T. Q is to the left of S. Who is to the right of P?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Q
All five face the centre of the table. For a person facing the centre, the left-hand neighbour is the next seat clockwise and the right-hand neighbour is the next seat anticlockwise (seen from above).
S is to the left of T, so S sits next to T, clockwise from T
Q is to the left of S, so Q sits next to S, clockwise from S: the order so far is T, S, Q
P is between Q and R, so P comes next after Q and R takes the fifth seat, between P and T
Clockwise order: T, S, Q, P, R; P’s right-hand neighbour is the seat anticlockwise from P, that is, Q
