Six cyclists, Lata, Mohan, Naina, Omkar, Pooja and Ruby, finished a race, and no two of them finished at the same time. Lata finished after Naina but before Mohan. Omkar finished just before Naina. Pooja finished after Mohan, and Ruby finished first. How many cyclists finished between Omkar and Mohan?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 2
Build the finishing order from the first cyclist to the last. ‘Just before’ means the place immediately ahead.
Lata finished after Naina and before Mohan: Naina, Lata, Mohan
Omkar finished just before Naina: Omkar, Naina, Lata, Mohan
Pooja finished after Mohan: Omkar, Naina, Lata, Mohan, Pooja
Ruby finished first: Ruby, Omkar, Naina, Lata, Mohan, Pooja
Between Omkar and Mohan are Naina and Lata, so 2 cyclists
