Question

Direction: Read the information given below and answer the question that follows. Eight students M, N, O, P, Q, R, S and T are sitting in a horizontal row. Four students are facing north while four students are facing south. N sits second to the right of R and both face south direction. O sits third to the left of P and both face in the same direction. One student sits between O and S, who sits at one of the extreme ends. N is not adjacent to O. Q is not adjacent to O. T faces north and sits neither adjacent to S nor R.

PYQPulse · Answer

Explanation: Students: M, N, O, P, Q, R, S and T. 1) O sits third to the left of P and both face in the same direction. 2) One student sits between O and S, who sits at one of the extreme ends. 3) N sits second to the right of R and both face south direction. 4) N is not adjacent to O. So, N and P must be adjacent to each other. 5) Q is not adjacent to O. 6) T faces north and sits neither adjacent to S nor R. So, case 2 would be invalid. 7) Neighbours of M face in the same direction but opposite to that of M. So, M and Q must face south. Hence, three students sit to the left of N.
