SSC MTS 5th July 2022 Shift-2
Explanation:
- I is on the extreme left, so I is in position 1.
- J is second from the extreme right, which is position 4.
- M and J are immediate neighbors, so M must be in position 3 or 5.
- M and K are also immediate neighbors, therefore M is most likely in position 3 to be close to both J and K.
- That places K in position 2 and M in position 3.
- L takes the remaining position 5.
Arrangement: I, K, M, J, L.
- Option 1: K and M
- K and M are indeed between I and J.
- Option 2: L
- L is on the extreme right.
- Option 3: L and M
- L is not between I and J.
- Option 4: K and L
- L is not between I and J.
