Six persons are standing in a row facing North. P is at the left end of the row. Q is third to the right of P. R is an immediate neighbour of Q. T is second to the left of R. P and M are immediate neighbours. O is to the right of R. Who is third to the left of O?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → T
P is at the left end, so number the places 1 to 6 from P and fill them one by one.
P is in place 1 and Q, third to the right of P, is in place 4
M is next to P, so M is in place 2
R is next to Q, so R is in place 3 or 5
R in place 3 would put T, second to the left of R, in place 1, which is P’s place
So R is in place 5 and T in place 3
O is to the right of R, so O is in place 6
The row is P, M, T, Q, R, O. Third to the left of O (place 6) is place 3, which is T
