(D) S
(E) T
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → (C), (B), (D), (A), (E)
All five face North, so their left is the west end of the row. Number the places 1 to 5 from the left and fix the people one clue at a time:
S is in the middle, so S is at place 3
Q is immediately left of S, so Q is at place 2
P is immediately left of T, so P and T need two places side by side; only places 4 and 5 are left together, so P is at 4 and T at 5
R takes the last place, 1; R and T then have three persons (Q, S, P) between them, as the question says
