Six people sit in two rows of three seats each, the two rows facing each other. P, Q and R sit in Row 1, facing South. X, Y and Z sit in Row 2, facing North. Q sits in the middle of Row 1, and P sits to the immediate left of Q. Y sits opposite P. Z sits to the immediate left of Y.
Who sits opposite R?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → X
The two rows face each other, so left and right are reversed between them: Row 1 faces South and its left is east; Row 2 faces North and its left is west.
Row 1: Q is in the middle, and P is to the immediate left of Q, so P is at the east end and R at the west end
Row 2: Y sits opposite P, so Y is at the east end
Z is to the immediate left of Y; in Row 2 left is west, so Z is in the middle and X at the west end
R and X are both at the west end, so X sits opposite R
