Six students, F, G, H, J, K and L, are sitting on a bench, facing South. G sits at the extreme left end of the bench. J sits third to the right of G. K sits to the immediate left of L. H sits at one of the ends of the bench.
Who sits second to the right of J?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → H
Left and right are always the students’ own left and right. Facing South, their left is towards the east. Number the seats 1 to 6 from their left end.
G is at the extreme left end: seat 1
J is third to the right of G: seat \(1+3=4\)
H is at an end; seat 1 is taken, so H is in seat 6
K and L need two seats side by side with K on the left. Of the free seats 2, 3 and 5, only 2 and 3 are side by side: K in seat 2, L in seat 3
F takes seat 5. Order from their left: G, K, L, J, F, H
Second to the right of J (seat 4) is seat 6: H
