SSC MTS 14th July 2022 Shift-1

- There are five friends: N, M, O, P, and Q sitting in a column facing east.

- O is on the leftmost side, so the order starts with O.

- N is an immediate neighbour of both M and Q. So, N must be in between M and Q. (M N Q or Q N M)

- P is not sitting at any end. So, P must be at either 2nd, 3rd, or 4th position.

- Since O is at the leftmost (first), and P cannot be at ends, P can be at 2nd, 3rd, or 4th.

Let’s try to place them:

1. O _ _ _ _

2. Since N is between M & Q, only three spaces remain, and P is not at ends.

Possible lineup:

- 1st: O

- 2nd: P (since P can't be on ends)

- 3rd: N (so there is space on both sides for M and Q)

- 4th: M or Q

- 5th: Q or M

Check for N’s neighbors: If we have O P N M Q, then N is between M and Q

- O, P, N, M, Q (M and Q surround N, P is not at ends, O is leftmost)

Who is immediate neighbour of O?

- O's immediate neighbour is P.

So, the correct option is:

Option:3, P
