Question and options
M, N, O, P, Q, and R are sitting around a circular table facing the center. M sits second to the left of R. Only one person sits between R and Q. O is not the immediate neighbor of M. N sits third to the right of Q. How many people sit between Q and R, when counted from the right of R?
- 4
- 2
- 3
- 1
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - 1
Seat R at 0 and count positions to R's left: M is at +2. Q is 2 away from R; +2 is taken so Q is 2 to R's right. N is 3 to the right of Q, i.e. 1 to R's left. O is not next to M, so O is immediately right of R and P is opposite R. Going right from R: O, then Q, so 1 person sits between.
