Five persons P, Q, R, S and T are sitting in a row, facing the same direction. S is to the immediate left of R, who is to the right of T. P is sitting between T and R.
In the above question, if Q is sitting between P and R, who will be to the immediate right of Q ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Assume all five persons are facing North (Left to Right).
• S is to the immediate left of R: They sit together as S - R.
• R is to the right of T and P is sitting between T and R: The arrangement from left to right is T ... P ... S - R.
• Q is sitting between P and R: Placing Q between P and S gives the complete order:
T → P → Q → S → R
Looking at the final order, S is to the immediate right of Q.
Therefore, the correct answer is (A) S.
