Six boys labelled I, J, K, L, M and N are placed in a row facing towards north. Three boys are placed between I and J. J is placed second to the right of K. L is placed immediate right of J. M is placed to the second to the left of N. Which boy is placed to the Left of J?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Three boys are placed between I and J.
CASE 1:
I _ _ _ J
CASE 2:
J _ _ _ I
J is placed second to the right of K. L is placed immediate right of J.
CASE 1:
I _ K _ J L
CASE 2:
K _ J L _ _ I
It is not possible because in this case the total boys becomes 7 which is not true. So, the only case1 is the only possibility.
M is placed to the second to the left of N.
I M K N J L
So, only N is to the left of J.
