Five coaches, P, L, R, M and O, are in a row. R is to the right of M and to the left of P. L is to the right of P and to the left of O. Which coach is in the middle?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → P
Each statement tells which coach is to the left of which; joining them gives one chain from left to right.
R is to the right of M and to the left of P: M, R, P
L is to the right of P and to the left of O: P, L, O
Joining the two at P: M, R, P, L, O
The third of the five coaches is P, so P is in the middle
