Study the following information carefully and answer the question:
Six people P, Q, R, S, T, and U are sitting on the ground in a hexagonal shape (not necessarily in the same order). All the sides of hexagon so formed, are of same length. P is not adjacent to Q or R; S is not adjacent to R or T; Q and R are adjacent; U is the middle of S and R. If one neighbour of P is S, who is the other one?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → T
Around a hexagon each person has two neighbours, one on each side. The clues that fix neighbours are placed first, and the “not adjacent” clues then decide the two seats left.
U is in the middle of S and R, so S, U and R sit side by side, in that order
Q and R are adjacent; R’s other neighbour is U, so Q sits on R’s other side: S, U, R, Q
The two seats left lie between Q and S. P is not adjacent to Q, so P takes the seat next to S and T the seat next to Q
