Direction: Study the following information carefully and answer the following questions
An uncertain number of person is sitting in a row facing towards North. Q is sitting second from on the extreme ends. S is sitting seventh to the right of M. L is sitting exactly in between Q and S. O is sitting third to the left of R. Only two people are sitting between Q and M. Only one person is sitting between S and O. P is sitting second to the left of N who is sitting fourth to the right of R. R is not an immediate neighbour of S.
Who is sitting at the extreme right end of the row?
This questions was previously asked in
IBPS Clerk (Prelims)
None of these
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
- We know Q sits second from one of the extreme ends.
- M is sitting to the left of S, with two people in between them. Hence, S is seven seats away from M.
- There's one person between Q and M.
- L sits exactly between Q and S.
- O is third to the left of R.
- There is one person between S and O.
- N is fourth to the right of R and P is second left to N.
- R is not next to S.
To solve, arrange these conditions:
- Consider two possible scenarios where Q is either second from the left or right. That will help satisfy initial conditions incrementally.
- Assign other persons based on the relational positions given. This will eventually position N at one extreme end.
Option 4: N is at the extreme right end.
The correct answer is:
Option 4: N
