Explanation:
Let’s break down the clues step by step:
- The six friends are: G, H, M, J, K, and L. All sit in a line facing north.
- "H is fourth to the right of M": That means, M is to the left. If we call M’s position 1, H is at position 5:
M _ _ _ H _
- "K is to the immediate right of H": So K comes just after H:
M _ _ _ H K
- "G is sitting between L and H": So, sequence is L G H (G between L and H).
Arranging:
Since H is at position 5, K is at 6.
So the line is:
1. M
2.
3.
4. L
5. H
6. K
Since G must be between L and H, G is at position 5 is not possible. Only possible:
4. L
5. G
6. H
But H is at 5, so rearrange:
Positions must be:
1. M
2. J
3. L
4. G
5. H
6. K
Now, L and M: J is between L (at 3) and M (at 1).
So, the answer is Option 1: J
- Correct answer: Option 1 (J)
- G is between L and H
- H is fourth to the right of M (so 4 seats apart)
- K is immediately after H
- The correct order is: M, J, L, G, H, K
- J is sitting between L and M
Hence, the answer is: J.
