Directions (16-20): Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below.
Ten persons are sitting in two parallel rows containing five persons each in such a way that there is an equal distance between adjacent persons. In the first row, A, B, C, D and E are seated and all of them are facing south. In the 2nd row, P, Q, R, S and T are seated and all of them are facing north. Therefore, in the given seating arrangement, each member seated in a row faces another member of the other row. S sits third to the left of P. A faces an immediate neighbor of S. C sits second to the right of A. Only one person sits between B and D. Q and T are immediate neighbours. T does not face A and B.
Q16. How many persons are seated between B and E?
Explanation:
(i) By using the conditions, S sits third to the left of P, A faces an immediate neighbor of S. C sits second to the right of A, so there will be two possible cases as shown below:
(ii) From the condition, T does not face A and B, case 2 will be eliminated. Case1 will be continued with the rest conditions, only one person sits between B and D, hence B sits immediate right of A and E sits extreme end of the row. We will get final answer:
