Six lions L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, and L6 are placed in a row facing towards north (not necessarily in the same order). Two lions are placed between L1 and L5. L3 is placed second to the right of L6. L2 is placed second to the right of L1. L5 is towards the left of L1. Which of the following lion represents the lion to the immediate right of L6?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → L1
All the lions face North, so their right is the observer’s right. Number the places 1 to 6 from the left and fix the lions tied together by the clues first.
L5 is to the left of L1 with two lions between them, and L2 is second to the right of L1: the order is L5, _, _, L1, _, L2
This group needs all six places, so L5 is 1st, L1 is 4th and L2 is 6th
Places 2, 3 and 5 are left. L3 is second to the right of L6:
Only L6 at 3rd and L3 at 5th are two places apart
L4 takes the last place, 2nd
The lion to the immediate right of L6 (3rd) is the one in 4th place, L1.
