Tip 1 Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem
Question A, P, R, X, S and Z are sitting in a
row. S and Z are in the centre. A and P are at
the ends. R is sitting to the left of A. Who is
to the right of P ? A. A B. X C. S D.
Z Solution A has to be at the right end
otherwise there would be no place to As left
for R to occupy. S and Z are seated at the
central positions, although the specific order in
which they are seated is not mentioned. This
leaves only 1 space vacant, i.e., next to P and
only 1 person, i.e., X. Hence the answer is
B. Question 6 friends are sitting in a circle
and facing the centre of the circle. Deepa
is between Prakash and Pankaj. Priti is between
Mukesh and Lalit. Prakash and Mukesh are opposite
to each other. Who is sitting right to Prakash
? A. Mukesh B. Pankaj C. Pankaj D. Lalit
Prakash Solution Fixing
Prakashs position, we find Mukeshs position.
Lalit Deepa Deepa is between
Pankaj and Prakash, and this can be on either
side of Prakash. Now, Priti is between Mukesh
and Lalit. This can happen when they
are on the opposite side of Priti
Pankaj Prakash. So, either Lalit or Deepa
will be to the right of Prakash.
So the correct option is D. Mukesh
P X S/Z Z/S R A
