Logical Reasoning(IBPS RRB PO) Sitting Arrangement

Directions: Read the information carefully and answer the following questions

A certain number of persons are sitting in a row. All of them are facing north. R is the third from the left. One person is sitting between R and T. Both R and T are not at an extreme end. Three people sit between T and O, who is not P's immediate neighbor. L sits to the immediate right of O. O sits at one end. Three people sit between L and N. One person sits between N and P who is sixth to the right of L. Two people sit between S and P. P sits to the left of S. E sits fourth from the right end. Two persons sit between E and K, and one of them is sitting at the right end. Four people sit between K and B. One person sits between B and H. The number of people seated between R and O corresponds to the number of people seated between S and H.

Explanation:

Let’s break this puzzle down, one step at a time:

- R is third from the left, not at the end.

- There’s one person between R and T; neither is at an end.

- O sits at one end, but is not P's neighbor. Three between T and O.

- L is immediately to the right of O.

- Three between L and N.

- P is sixth to the right of L; one person sits between N and P.

- There are two between S and P; P is to the left of S.

- E is fourth from the right.

- Two between E and K; one on the right end.

- Four between K and B.

- One between B and H.

- The gap between R and O is the same as the gap between S and H.

Now to the options:

- “11th to the left” just doesn’t fit the possible row length based on all the statements. When you actually put the people in order, L ends up a handful of seats to the right of H, not the left.

- The correct answer is: 4, 5th to the right

- If you draw it out, with O-L-...-P-...-H, you’ll count exactly five seats between L and H, going right from H to L.

So, your answer is close but not the one the clues point to.

The correct answer is: 4, 5th to the right.

If you want to see it seat by seat, I can write out the whole line—just ask. But that’s the spirit of the puzzle and the solution!
