There are six Professors in a Physics department. They are P, Q, R, S, T and W. All are sitting around a hexagonal dining table to have lunch. Q is sitting between W and R, P is sitting between T and S and W is sitting to the left of S. Who is sitting between P and W?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → S
The six sit at the six sides of the table, all facing the centre, so each person’s left is the clockwise direction.
Q is between W and R, so W, Q, R sit together in a row of three seats.
P is between T and S, so T, P, S take the other three seats together.
W is to the left of S, so W sits next to S, on S’s clockwise side. Going clockwise, the order round the table is S, W, Q, R, T, P.
So S sits between P and W.
