Question and options
Five friends are sitting on a bench according to the following information.
(I) P is sitting next to Q, and R is next to S
(II) S is not sitting with T; T is on the extreme left hand side of the bench and R is on the second position from the right hand side
(III) P is on the right hand side of Q and to the right side of T
(IV) P and R are sitting together
(I) P is sitting next to Q, and R is next to S
(II) S is not sitting with T; T is on the extreme left hand side of the bench and R is on the second position from the right hand side
(III) P is on the right hand side of Q and to the right side of T
(IV) P and R are sitting together
Who is on the extreme right hand side of the bench?
- R
- T
- Q
- S
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - S
T sits at the extreme left and R second from the right. S must be next to R, and P must sit next to R with Q on P's left, so P is in the middle, Q next to T and S at the far right: T, Q, P, R, S. R is tempting, but R is placed second from the right, not at the end.
