Six friends, P, Q, R, S, T, and U, sit in a circle facing the centre. P is third to the left of S. U is second to the right of R. T is not a neighbour of U.
Who is opposite Q?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Step-by-step Arrangement:
• Position of P and S: Six persons are seated facing the centre. P is third to the left of S, which means P sits directly opposite S.
• Position of R and U: U is second to the right of R. Leaving the positions of P and S, R and U can be placed such that there is one person between them.
• Position of T and Q: T is not an immediate neighbour of U, which leaves only one possible position for T and the remaining position for Q.
Going clockwise around the table, the arrangement is: S → R → T → P → Q → U.
Opposite pairs are:
• S is opposite P
• T is opposite U
• R is opposite Q
Therefore, R sits opposite Q.
