SSC MTS Previous Year - 08 August 2019 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q95

Six scientists R, L, T, S, N and P are standing in a row facing towards north (Not necessarily in the same order). N is standing to the immediate right of R. S is standing second to the right of P. Two scientists are there between T and N. S is towards the left of L.

Which of the following is correct about the position of L?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. L is at one of the ends

Understanding Application

1. N is standing to the immediate right of R.

2. Two scientists are standing between T and N.

Based on this information, 2 cases are possible:

3. S is standing second to the right of P.

4. S is towards the left of L.

But case 2 does not follow, it hence it is dismissed.

So final arrangement:

Hence, option 3 i.e. ‘L is at one of the end’ is correct.
