Read the following information carefully and answer the questions :
(a) Six persons P, Q, R, S, T and U are sitting in two rows, three in each.
(b) T is not at the end of any row
(c) S is second to the left of U
(d) R, the neighbour of T, is sitting diagonally opposite to S
(e) Q is the neighbour of U
Which of the following group of people are in the same row?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → PTR
With three people in each row, the middle seat is the only one that is not at an end. The clues are placed one by one:
S is second to the left of U, so S and U sit at the two ends of one row (Row 1), with one seat between them.
Q is the neighbour of U, so Q takes the middle seat of Row 1: S, Q, U.
T is not at the end of any row, and the middle of Row 1 is taken, so T sits in the middle of Row 2.
R, the neighbour of T, is diagonally opposite S, so R sits at the end of Row 2 that is below U.
P takes the last seat, at the other end of Row 2, so Row 2 is P, T, R.
