Read the following information carefully to answer the question:
i. Six shops on a floor in two rows facing north and south are allotted to P, Q, R, S, T, and U (not necessarily in the same order).
ii. Q gets a north-facing shop and is not next to S.
iii. Q and P gets diagonally opposite shops.
iv. R, next to U, gets a south-facing shop and T gets a north-facing shop.
The shops of which of the other pairs than QP are diagonally opposite to each other?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → SU
Q and T face north, and since Q and P are diagonally opposite, P faces south along with R and U. In the north row Q cannot stand next to S, so Q and S take the two ends with T in the middle: Q, T, S.
In the south row R must be next to U, which puts P at the far end diagonally across from Q, giving U, R, P. The remaining corners are then S at one end of the north row and U at the opposite end of the south row, so the other diagonal pair is S and U.
