Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the questions that follow:
10 people are sitting in two parallel rows. Five persons - A, B, C, D, E are sitting in row 1, facing towards the south direction and five persons - P, Q, R, S, T are sitting in row 2, facing towards the north direction in such a manner that persons sitting in row 1 and row 2 are facing each other.
Q is third to the right of P and either of them sits at the end of the row. A sits immediate left of the person who is facing P. C is third to the right of B, who is sitting at the end of the row. R is the immediate left of S. Neither A nor B is the neighbour of E.
Who is sitting immediate right of Q?
S
R
None
P
B
Let’s break it down with what the clues really say:
- Q is third to the right of P, and either P or Q is at the end of their row. So possible seatings for row 2 (facing north) are:
- If P is at the far left: P _ _ Q _ | or Q _ _ _ P
- R is immediately to the left of S in row 2.
- For row 1 (facing south): C is third to the right of B, and B is at the end. Meaning, B must be at the far left.
- So seating in row 1: B _ _ _ C _
- A sits immediate left of the person facing P.
- Neither A nor B is next to E.
Let’s actually fill the rows with what fits:
Row 2: (facing north)
- Option 1: P _ _ Q _
- Since R is immediately left of S, possibilities:
- Let’s put R and S together somewhere.
- Row 2: P _ _ Q R S is not possible (as too many seats)
Try: P _ R S Q
- Now Q is third to the right of P: (Q's position is 5th, P's is 1st: 2nd, 3rd, 4th to Q are 2, 3, 4)
- Counting: P (1), _ (2), R (3), S (4), Q(5) => Q is to the fourth right, not third
- Try other way: Q at the end, so Q _ _ _ P; fill in R and S with R immediate left of S:
- Q _ R S P
- Q at 1, P at 5; But now, Q is NOT third to the right of P.
Try: P Q _ R S
- From P: 1st right is Q, 2nd right is blank, 3rd right is R. Q occupies position 2: so yes, third to right of P is Q.
- Good.
So, Row 2 (left to right): P Q _ R S
Row 1 (facing south, so "left" is our left as we look at it):
- B _ _ _ C
- C is third to right of B (B at 1, C at 4, since 1-->2, 2-->3, 3-->4 is third right).
- Now, A sits immediate left of the person who faces P
- Person facing P in row 2 (position 1), which is row 1, position 1 as well. Immediate left is not possible since B is at far left.
- So possibly the rows are placed facing each other with 1-1, 2-2...
If matching seats:
- Row 2: 1 2 3 4 5 (P Q _ R S)
- Row 1: 1 2 3 4 5 (B _ _ C _ )
Now, A must be to the immediate left of the person facing P (i.e., position 1), but since B is at left, not possible.
Let's try shifting: what if row 1 aligned as B _ _ _ C but from RIGHT to LEFT since facing south?
So, in seat 1 (our left), B; seat 4 (our left), C
Now, E can't be neighbor of B or A.
Let’s just check: who is sitting immediate right of Q?
- In Row 2, P Q _ R S
- Immediate right of Q is seat 3: blank (so whoever that is).
- The only person left is T.
- So immediate right of Q is T.
Let’s check options:
- Option 1: S (no, S is at the end)
- Option 2: R
- Option 3: None
- Option 4: P (no, that's far left)
- Option 5: B (row 1, irrelevant)
So actually, immediate right of Q is T, which wasn’t an option.
So the answer is:
That’s the logic, and here’s the relevant breakdown:
- The seating arrangement for Row 2 is P Q T R S.
- The only person at Q's immediate right is T, which is NOT listed among the options.
- Therefore, “None” is the correct answer.
- All other options refer to people who are not seated at Q’s immediate right.
That's how it all fits together.
