Five friends P, Q, R, S and T are sitting on a bench and wearing jackets of different colours, i.e., brown, red, yellow, white and grey (not necessarily in this order).
(A) P is sitting next to Q and wearing red jacket.
(B) R is sitting next to S and not wearing either brown or grey jacket.
(C) S is not sitting with T and T is wearing brown jacket.
(D) T is on the left end of the bench.
(E) R is on the second position from the right.
(F) P is on the right of Q and T, and Q is wearing grey jacket.
(G) P and R are sitting together.
(H) S is not wearing white jacket.
What is the color of R's jacket?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → White
Fix the seats from the clues that give a definite position first, then place the jackets.
Seats (1 to 5 from the left):
(D) T is at the left end: seat 1. (E) R is second from the right: seat 4
(G) P sits next to R, and (F) P is to the right of Q and T, so P takes seat 3 and Q, next to P (A), takes seat 2
S takes seat 5, next to R (B) and away from T (C)
Jackets:
T brown (C), P red (A), Q grey (F)
White and yellow are left for R and S; S is not in white (H), so S wears yellow and R wears white
