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?
Answers
Mark six points in a straight line, to represent the people sitting in the row.
Let S and Z sit at positions numbered 3 and 4. S can be at position number 3 or 4 and the same is true for Z.
Make A and P sit at the ends or extremes of the row.
Now, if you seat A at the left end, you cannot place R at the left of A. so, A will sit at the right end and P will sit at the left end.
The position number 2 is left and only one person is left, that is X. So X will sit at position 2.
So, the order for seating from left to right becomes
P, X, S, Z, R, A or
P,X, Z, S, R, A.
It is clear from the above order that X is sitting to the right of P.
X is sitting to the right of P. This is the only possible solution to this question since it is said that S and Z are at the centre with A, P at the ends.
As R is sitting to the left of A, the position left of P is only available for X. Thus, from left, the sitting arrangement is PXSZRA.
