A, P, R, X, S and Z are sitting in a row. S and Z are in the centre, and A and P are at the ends. R is sitting on the left of A. Then who is sitting on the right of P?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → X
Six people in a row take the places 1 to 6 from the left end. S and Z are in the centre, so they take places 3 and 4, and A and P take the two ends, places 1 and 6. Left and right are read the same way for everyone in the row, so they can be placed one by one:
“R is sitting on the left of A” is read, as usual in seating questions, as R sitting next to A on A’s left. Nobody can sit beyond an end of the row, so A cannot be at the left end:
A is at the right end (place 6)
R is in place 5
P takes the other end, place 1
X takes the only place left, place 2, so X sits on the right of P
